As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1873-03/04)

Edited by Eça de Queirós · Edited by Ramalho Ortigão

"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1873-03/04)" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queirós is a monthly publication first published in 1871. This satirical chronicle presents a biting caricature of Portuguese society, criticizing everything from partisan journalism to religious hypocrisy and romantic literature. Born from the censorship of controversial intellectual conferences, the publication introduced innovative critical journalism to Portugal, offering sharp sociological observations of daily life—from markets to prisons, fishermen to theatre-goers—that would later influence Queirós's novels.
