"The Maias": The Press and Power — Devil's Horn and A Tarde | Episode 10 A newspaper. A scandal. An entire city exposed through the press. Carlos da Maia suddenly finds himself embroiled in a public controversy when an article in "The Devil's Horn" turns his private life into a subject of ridicule and defamation. It all seems to stem from a simple publication. But a deeper mechanism of power, money, and revenge is quickly revealed. In this episode, we follow how Eça de Queirós constructs a scathing critique of the journalism of the time, divided between the sensationalist press and the political press, both marked by interests, cronyism, and a lack of ethics. "The Devil's Horn" exposes the degradation of popular journalism, fueled by scandal and public humiliation, while "A Tarde" reveals the dependence of newspapers on political power and networks of influence. Throughout the episode, we also follow Carlos da Maia's reaction, João da Ega's intervention, and Dâmaso Salcede's involvement in a conflict that exposes not only individuals but an entire society. 🎯 An essential video for high school students, preparing for tests and the national exam. 📌 In this video: – The "Devil's Horn" episode – The scandal involving Carlos da Maia and Maria Eduarda – The critique of sensationalist journalism – Corruption and clientelism in the press – The political press in "A Tarde" – Ega's role in revealing the case – The figure of Dâmaso Salcede and social revenge – Eça de Queirós's critique of Lisbon society 🎓 Complete series on "Os Maias" Watch the other episodes for a complete understanding of the work. 📖 References: – Eça de Queirós, «Os Maias» 🔎 Tags (keywords): Os Maias, press, Corneta do Diabo, A Tarde, Eça de Queirós, chapter XV Os Maias, social criticism Os Maias, journalism in the 19th century, Carlos da Maia, João da Ega, Dâmaso Salcede, scandal, defamation, Portuguese literature, Realism, secondary education, Portuguese national exam, summary Os Maias, analysis Os Maias, 19th century Portugal, Portuguese exam preparation 👍 If this video helped you, subscribe to the channel «Os Clássicos Nunca Envelhecem» and follow the next episodes.
