«Ha estallado la paz» is the novel by José María Gironella, published by Círculo de Lectores in 1973 in hardcover (691 pages, in Spanish).
The work portrays the immediate Spanish postwar period through the Alvear family, with Gerona as the central setting. After the end of the conflict, the characters return to their homes while the exiles disperse around the world. The narrative combines drama, poetry and irony to recreate the climate of those years, with history and novelistic fiction intertwined.
«Ha estallado la paz» is the third installment of the Tetralogy on the Spanish Civil War, after «Los cipreses creen en Dios» and «Un millón de muertos».
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and twentieth-century Spanish literature, both for those who lived through the postwar period and for young readers wishing to discover it.
