| Summary | "As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes" by Ramalho Ortigão and Eça de Queiroz is a collection of engaged social and political essays written in the late 19th century (a period marked by profound change in Europe). The book provides a satirical commentary on the contemporary Portuguese society, reflecting on issues ranging from political corruption to social mores, particularly focusing on the dynamics of morality and education in the bourgeois class. The opening of this work introduces the authors' perspective on societal norms and the justice system through specific cases, like that of Joanna Pereira and a parish priest. The narrative explores the inconsistencies in how society judges different crimes, depicting a critical view of the legal and moral standards of the time. Furthermore, it critiques the adherence to outdated traditions and the emerging relevance of gymnastics as a health practice, signaling a broader call for modernization in societal attitudes. The discourse blends irony and social critique, showcasing the authors' articulate voice in addressing the stagnation of cultural progress within Portugal.
