Summary "As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes" by Eça de Queiroz and Ramalho Ortigão is a critical and satirical publication written during the late 19th century. This work serves as a monthly chronicle that addresses various aspects of Portuguese politics, literature, and customs of the time, often employing sharp wit and humor to critique the social norms and the status quo. The opening of "As Farpas" presents a letter addressing Prince Carlos, who is preparing to travel for education, and scrutinizes the nature of his upbringing and the quality of his teachers. The authors depict a vivid picture of political institutions and individuals in Portuguese society, emphasizing the inadequacies of the education system and the superficiality of the political elite. Through a mix of humor and serious critique, the authors set the tone for an insightful examination of contemporary issues, characterizing the prince's education as misguided and emphasizing the need for more genuine engagement with society and knowledge beyond formal structures.
