"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes" by Eça de Queiroz and Ramalho Ortigão is a collection of literary and socio-political critiques written during the late 19th century. This work delves into the interconnected aspects of Portuguese identity, politics, religion, and art, highlighting the societal discontent and the complexities of national identity during a time of considerable political turbulence in Portugal. At the start of the narrative, the authors introduce the notion of Portugal as a society fragmented by individualistic egoism, questioning the essence of national identity. They discuss various facets of Portuguese life—including religion, politics, and moral standards—illustrating how these have devolved into divisions and chaos rather than unity. The opening portion reflects on the absence of a cohesive national idea, emphasizing the need for a collective consciousness to achieve genuine patriotism. The authors draw a stark contrast between the ideals they advocate and the ineffectual and corrupt nature of governance, particularly referencing historical figures like the Marquess of Pombal, who symbolizes the failures of political despotism. Through these critiques, a vivid picture of a nation grappling with its past and searching for direction unfolds.
