  Francesc Català-Roca (1922 - 1998), was a Spanish photographer of great renown, considered a pioneer of documentary photography.
  Català-Roca: A Photographer's Impressions stands as a testament to an analog era, now almost entirely wiped out with the advent of the Internet and digital technologies.
  His photographic legacy is an invaluable visual testimony of the Spanish society of his time.
  His work in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s represented the emergence of new street photography in Spain. For half a century, he travelled across Spain, masterfully capturing everyday scenes of the post-war era and the essence of urban landscapes. He worked alongside artists such as Joan Miró and Antoni Tàpies, immortalizing the art and culture of the 20th century.
  Thirty years after its first edition, photography and history enthusiasts will discover previously unpublished content to enrich historiographic narratives. The text, both entertaining and spontaneous, preserves not only anecdotes about events and figures of the 20th century, but also offers humanist ideas for a responsible and passionate approach to photography. Even though the technology of that time has long been surpassed, this book remains full of vibrant ideas, serving as an antidote to today's automatism, overconsumption, and globalization that can trivialize the image.

  The Chronicles of StorySelling

  In the world of business and marketing, stories have power. They have the power to capture attention, to resonate, to move people to action, to shape perceptions and to drive loyalty. Business leaders and marketers are increasingly recognizing the val-ue of Storyselling as a powerful strategic tool. As Peter Guber, a noted film producer and CEO of Mandalay Entertainment, said, “Stories have a unique power to move people’s hearts, minds, feet and wallets in the storyteller’s intended direction.”  
  Consider the case of Apple Inc. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in the late 1990s, he faced a company on the brink of bankruptcy. To resurrect the brand, he used Storyselling to reframe the company’s image, recasting Apple as a rebellious upstart challenging an industry titan, Microsoft. He told con-sumers, “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers!” This narrative of thinking differently resonat-ed with consumers and helped turn Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world.  
  Indeed, research backs the power of Storyselling. According to a study published in the Journal of Marketing in 2020, nar-ratives are proven to be more persuasive than facts alone. The study demonstrated that when participants were presented with a story, they were more likely to be persuaded by the content, even when the facts were identical to those presented without a story.
