«En el día de hoy» is the historical fiction novel by Jesús Torbado, published by Planeta in paperback (361 pages, in Spanish).
The novel imagines that the Republic wins the Civil War in 1939. Azaña and Negrín retire, Besteiro becomes president and Prieto head of government; Franco goes into exile in Cuba and his supporters disperse. With historical and fictional characters, Torbado depicts an ironic and paradoxical postwar period, far from any partisanship.
«En el día de hoy» won the Planeta Prize in 1976, the year it was first published.
For readers of historical fiction and alternate history, particularly those interested in the Spanish Civil War.
