Catecismo d'a Doutrina Labrega

A satirical, catechism‑style dialogue gives voice to a rural laborer, defining the condition of peasantry through plain, often ironic questions and answers. It catalogs poverty, relentless work, taxes and fees, local officials and natural calamities as the peasant's enemies, outlines everyday deprivations and coping behaviors, and frames civic and religious doctrines as instruments that explain and reproduce social subordination, while dividing material into topical sections that mix practical counsel with political critique.
