Miquel Riera - barcelona
Ãs una de les icones de la lluita contra el feixisme durant la Guerra Civil i els anys posteriors. Sâhi veu el peu dâun mosso dâesquadra, calçat amb la tÃpica espardenya de betes catalana, a punt de fer esclatar en mil bocins una creu esvà stica. La fotografia, realitzada pel fotògraf Pere Català Pic âamb lâajuda del seu fill, el també gran fotògraf Francesc Català -Roca, de llavors només 14 anys; vegeu la peçaâ, era la gran protagonista dâun cartell de gran format que va editar el Comissariat de Propaganda de la Generalitat lâany 1936 i que ara tothom podrà tenir a casa després que la Fundació Reeixida âque fa mesos va reeditar també el mapa dels Països Catalans de Joan Ballesterâ sâha decidit a publicar-lo en format 70x50 centÃmetres i en paper de 160 g i distribuir-lo a les principals llibreries del paÃs.

All novelists draw on their own experiences to some extent in their writing, but John Simpson goes much further. In Our Friends in Beijing, his second foray into fiction, the BBC’s long-serving world affairs editor reveals in public for the first time an old wound from one of the 30-plus war zones from which he has reported.
His alter ego in the thriller, veteran foreign correspondent Jon Swift (‘70 per cent of what’s in the novel happened to me in one way or another’), suffers a brutal beating and a chilling mock execution. It is based on what happened to Simpson himself in the summer of 1982 during a war in Lebanon. It has haunted this renowned broadcasting elder statesman ever since.
