| Summary | "As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1882-11/12)" by Eça de Queirós and Ramalho Ortigão is a satirical journalistic work written during the late 19th century. This collection of essays provides a critical commentary on Portuguese society, focusing on politics, culture, and customs, particularly the role of the clergy and the absurdities of political and social life. The opening of the work sets a tone of sharp wit, using irony and humor to examine the relationship between the church and state, as well as the general state of moral and intellectual affairs in Portugal. Eça de Queirós and Ramalho Ortigão critique the practices of ecclesiastical authority and the absurdities underlying politically motivated religious gatherings. Through a vivid portrayal of clerical personalities and satirical incidents, the authors establish a critical analysis of contemporary society, hinting at the broader challenges of modernity. The authors invite readers to reflect on the implications of these observations within the realm of both personal and national identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
