''As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes'' is a historical periodical published in the mid-19th century, co-authored by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queiróz. This work explores the sociopolitical landscape of Portugal during its time, blending satire with commentary on politics, culture, and customs. It likely tackles contemporary issues with a keen eye for irony and reflects the authors' views on the state of society and the role of various institutions. The opening of ''As Farpas'' reveals a vibrant, critical tone, as the authors express their thoughts on the seasonal changes in social behavior and public engagement, particularly during summertime. Their reflections begin with a personal note about a health issue that interrupted the periodical's publication, leading into incisive observations about the state of reading and intellectual activity among the Portuguese populace during the summer months. The authors share witty anecdotes and observations about artistic performances, the societal impact of a recent drowning incident, and their skepticism towards various social organizations and movements, such as the Catholic Association in Porto. This section sets the stage for a richly layered exploration of themes that resonate throughout the periodical, emphasizing both personal and public matters with a distinctively sardonic approach.
