# As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1873-10/11)

By Eça de Queirós.

"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1873-10/11)" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queirós is a monthly publication first published in 1871. Born from the censorship of revolutionary literary conferences in Lisbon, this satirical chronicle dissected Portuguese society with biting irony and critical observation. The authors examined everything from partisan journalism to religious hypocrisy, from women's social roles to cultural decay, creating what became Portugal's first true work of critical journalism and social commentary.
