As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes, (1877-08/09)

Edited by Eça de Queirós · Edited by Ramalho Ortigão

"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes, (1877-08/09)" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queirós is a monthly publication first appearing in 1871. This satirical chronicle presents a biting caricature of Portuguese society, criticizing partisan journalism, the Catholic faith, women's social roles, and romantic literature. Born from censorship of the Casino Conferences, the publication represents an innovative form of journalism combining social commentary with literary criticism. The magazine offers vivid observations of daily Portuguese life—from markets to prisons—while exploring themes of cultural and political decay.
