| Summary | "Manhãs de Cascaes" by Alberto Pimentel is a collection of satirical essays written in the late 19th century. The work explores the humorous and often absurd experiences of people at the beach, shedding light on the quirks of society during that era. Pimentel's sharp observations encompass various characters, with the recurring presence of the narrator who reflects upon the annoyances and intricacies of summer leisure. The opening of "Manhãs de Cascaes" introduces a vivid portrayal of the challenges posed by mosquitoes as the summer begins, setting a comedic tone for the essays to follow. The narrator vividly describes encountering the first mosquito of the season, which becomes a symbol of irritation, leading to comparisons with the various inconveniences suffered at the beach. Through anecdotes and sharp wit, the sections highlight not only the annoyance of summer pests but also the eccentricities of beachgoers and their interactions—a blend of humor and social commentary.
