«En el día de hoy» is the historical uchronia novel by Jesús Torbado, published by Planeta in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
Uchronia: the Republic wins the Civil War in 1939. Azaña and Negrín retire; Besteiro becomes president and Prieto head of government, while Franco goes into exile in Cuba and his supporters scatter across the world. Torbado imagines a Spanish postwar opposite to the real one, with humor and irony that highlight historical paradoxes.
Winner of the Premio Planeta in 1976; edition published in 1986.
For readers of historical fiction and uchronias, particularly those interested in the Spanish Civil War and its alternative possibilities.
