Summary "As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queiroz is a satirical periodical written in the late 19th century. This work provides sharp commentary on Portuguese society, politics, and culture through a mix of humor and irony, reflecting on contemporary issues and historical figures. It aims to provoke thought about the state of the nation, the role of women, and the absurdities of political life. The opening of "As Farpas" presents an elegy for notable deceased figures, such as Raspail and Courbet, celebrating their contributions to science and art while critiquing the societal norms surrounding them. Through a lively blend of personal anecdotes and societal critique, the authors guide readers through various reflections on mortality and cultural identity. As they address the influence of these characters on Portuguese society, they also delve into the critique of women's roles, education, and the importance of practical knowledge in everyday life. The tone exemplifies both a recognition of loss and a call for social awareness, setting the stage for an engaging discussion that challenges the status quo.
