Ediciones Destino

Recently it has been publishing authors such as Andrés Trapiello, Antonio Soler, Pedro Zarraluki or Eduardo Lago. In Catalan, the highly illustrated "Image of Catalonia" collection, often by photographers as Francesc Català Roca, had a strong impact and collected important Catalan subjects by leading authors. The publishing house awards two prizes a year for unpublished works, the Nadal Prize, founded in 1944 (the oldest award in Spanish literature), and the Josep Pla Prize, founded in 1968, for unpublished works in Catalan. Planeta Group bought half of the publisher's shares in 1989, and the rest in 1996.
