As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1878-01)

Edited by Eça de Queirós · Edited by Ramalho Ortigão

"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1878-01)" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queirós is a monthly publication first published in 1871. Born from censorship of intellectual conferences, this Portuguese periodical presents biting caricatures of contemporary society through satirical journalism. The authors critique partisan press, economic decline, religious hypocrisy, women's roles, and cultural degradation. Through observations of markets, prisons, fishermen, and families, they revolutionize Portuguese journalism with social commentary that captures daily life while launching ideas later developed in Queirós's novels.
