As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1877-05/06)

Edited by Eça de Queirós · Edited by Ramalho Ortigão

"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1877-05/06)" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queirós is a monthly publication first appearing in 1871. Born from censorship of the Casino Conferences, this satirical magazine offered biting social commentary on Portuguese society. The authors dissected partisan journalism, economic decay, religion, women's roles, and cultural degradation through ironic observation of markets, prisons, fishermen, and everyday life. These chronicles launched critical journalism in Portugal, presenting unflinching caricatures of a nation during its Regeneration period.
