A review by alexanderp
The Revolt of the Masses by José Ortega y Gasset

challenging reflective medium-paced

Not sure if this was a translation issue or just Ortega's writing, but I found this much denser than it may have warranted. I believe Ortega does a masterful job summarizing the mass movements at the turn of the century and he is even prophetic of what comes next with WWII and the 50s and 60s. I would say that even a lot of what he speaks of concerning "mass man" applies to today, almost 100 years later. 

That said, there's a lot of symbols and images that are too obtuse for the points that he is getting to.
