As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1882-11/12)

"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1882-11/12)" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queirós is a monthly publication that appeared from 1871 to 1882. This satirical chronicle caricatured Portuguese society through biting social and cultural criticism. Born from the censorship of revolutionary literary conferences, the magazine examined everything from partisan journalism and economic decay to religious hypocrisy and women's segregation. Its sharp observations of markets, prisons, fishermen, and theaters introduced Portugal to a new form of critical journalism that would influence later literary works.
