I am convinced that if my primary care doctor had read a book such as this years ago, my bipolar disorder and PTSD would have been diagnosed and treated years ago. Too many physicians, when confronted with a depressed patient, simply hand out antidepressants or refer the patient to Alcoholics Anonymous. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of Favorite Books *by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2013* Jose Ortega Y Gasset--there is no coincidence that the acronym of his name JOYG contains "joy" in it. JOyG's works are like those of another great Spanish writer, Santayana, in that every page has exquisitely written thoughts (through translation from JOyG) that bring great joy to the reader.If you are not familiar with Jose Ortega y Gasset, consider making a New Year's resolution to read at least one of his works. Perspicacious, poignant and written with a true understanding of the human condition--from glory to ignominy. He writes with passion and a clarity that makes his ideas both accessible and understandable. It will naturally make you left with wanting more. ### ⭐ Let Down *by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2020* I came to Don Quixote only recently and have become intrigued and -- pardon the expression -- enchanted. I am trying to learn as much as I can about the work and its author. Harold Bloom's introduction to Edith Grossman's translation is insightful. William Egginton's "The Man Who Invented Fiction" is full of information about the author and his times. He ties Cervantes' story to the novel's inventions in a way that helps the reader understand both the author and his famous characters.So the appearance of the word "Quixote" in the title to Ortega y Gasset's book made for an instant sale. I tore through the book as soon as it arrived. After dutifully reading to the end, I am still waiting for the connection to the famous novel.I have a question for those who gave this five stars. I ask this question without irony. You have gotten something out of this book that has eluded me completely. Could the author of this book have written it without ever reading Don Quixote? I don't suggest that he didn't read it. I'm sure he did read it. But what that reading had to do with the "Meditations on Quixote" is beyond me.I agree with the reviewer who said that the time spent reading these Meditations would be better devoted to reading Don Quixote itself. Something I am going to do as soon as I hit "Submit". --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/36869966-meditations-on-quixote](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/36869966-meditations-on-quixote) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
