As Farpas: Chronica Mensal Da Politica, Das Letras E Dos Costumes (1882-06/07)

''As Farpas: Chronica Mensal Da Politica, Das Letras E Dos Costumes'' is a collection of socio-political critiques by Eça de Queiroz and Ramalho Ortigão, published between 1871 and 1872. This work examines the fragmented identity of late 19th-century Portugal, addressing issues of politics, religion, and social customs amidst a backdrop of national discontent. Notable for its sharp satire and critique of the bourgeoisie, it serves as a significant commentary on the political and cultural landscape of the time. The current edition updates the orthography while preserving the original texts, complete with contextual notes and a glossary.
