An Unprecedented Editorial Demand
The publisher Planeta, responsible for publishing the book, is already working on a fifth print run to supply bookstores. The work went on sale last December 3, and since then the demand has not stopped growing. This data confirms that there is a wide audience interested in knowing the monarch's personal account of his reign and the years following his abdication, a period marked by his departure from Spain and various public controversies.
Key Launch Data:- The book reaches its fifth edition in a single week.
- Sales exceed 40,000 copies in Spanish territory.
- Planeta must reprint the volume on several occasions to meet demand.
It seems that reconciling sells more books than staying in exile, at least in the Spanish editorial market.

In Reconciliaci贸n, Juan Carlos I addresses key episodes of recent Spanish history from his unique perspective. The monarch writes about the Transition, details his role in that process, and also refers to more personal and family matters. The book's objective, as its title suggests, is to close stages and build bridges with the past.
Main Topics Covered in the Book:- His personal view on the Spanish Transition process.
- The role he played during his reign and in decisive moments.
- Reflections on his life and the monarchical institution after abdicating.
An Editorial and Cultural Phenomenon
The sales success of Reconciliaci贸n transcends the commercial to become a cultural phenomenon. It indicates the persistent interest in a figure who, despite the controversy, continues to generate attention. The book allows the emeritus to present his version of the facts at a crucial moment, perhaps seeking to redefine his historical legacy. The market has responded forcefully. 馃
