As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1882-06/07)

Edited by Eça de Queirós · Edited by Ramalho Ortigão

"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1882-06/07)" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queirós is a monthly publication series begun in 1871. These satirical chronicles offer a sharp-witted portrait of Portuguese society in the years after 1870, wielding humor and irony to critique politics, journalism, religion, social conventions, and romantic literature. The authors pioneered a new form of journalism centered on ideas and cultural criticism, creating what they termed an "admirable caricature" of their era with clarity, social consciousness, and pointed observation.
