Summary "As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queirós is a collection of satirical essays written in the mid-19th century. The work addresses various aspects of Portuguese society, politics, and culture during a time of significant social change, using humor, irony, and sharp critique to explore contemporary issues. The opening of the collection introduces readers to the authors' sharp wit and observations on the literary and political landscape of the time. The text critiques figureheads in Portuguese literature and politics, specifically focusing on Alexandre Herculano's recent publication. The authors delve into themes of authority, democratic principles, and the state of societal morality, illustrating their arguments with rich metaphors and vivid imagery. They reflect on the despair that can accompany literary pursuits and question the relevance and impact of Herculano's work amidst the pressing issues confronting Portugal. Overall, this beginning sets the tone for a critical examination of the cultural and political climate of the 19th century. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
