«En el día de hoy» is the historical fiction novel by Jesús Torbado, published by Booket in paperback (361 pages, in Spanish).
Alternate history novel based on a suggestive premise: if the Republic had won the Civil War in 1939. In that imaginary Spain, with Azaña and Negrín retired, Besteiro as president and Prieto leading the government, Franco goes into exile in Cuba and his supporters scatter across the world, some fighting in Angola and others collaborating with Hitler. Torbado combines historical and fictional characters to build an ironic and lucid uchronia about the Spanish postwar period, inviting readers to reconsider the consequences of victory and the role of winners and losers.
Spanish-language edition in the Biblioteca Premios Planeta collection. The work connects with the genre of uchronia or alternate history, originally published in 2003 by Booket in paperback.
Recommended for readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, historical fiction, and alternate history narratives with an ironic and reflective approach.
