Synopsis:
This study explores the inner world of a rare human phenomenon―a man who was endowed with virtually limitless powers of memory. From his intimate knowledge of S., the mnemonist, gained from conversations and testing over a period of almost thirty years, A. R. Luria is able to reveal in rich detail not only the obvious strengths of S.’s astonishing memory but also his surprising weaknesses: his crippling inability to forget, his pattern of reacting passively to life, and his uniquely handicapped personality.
About the Authors:
A. R. Luria was Professor of Psychology at Lomonosov Moscow State University.
Jerome Bruner was University Professor at New York University.

Hinterer Einband mit leichten Verfärbungen am Rand. Mit einer privaten Widmung auf dem Vorsatz. 'The Mind of a Mnemonist is a rare phenomenon - a scientific study that transcends its data and, in the manner of the best fictional literature, fashions a portrait of an unforgettable human being. - Alexander Romanowitsch Lurija (russisch wiss. Transliteration Aleksandr Romanovic Lurija; * 3.jul. / 16. Juli 1902greg. in Kasan; 14. August 1977 in Moskau) war ein sowjetischer Psychoanalytiker und Neurologe. Leben: Bis 1921 studierte Lurija Gesellschaftswissenschaften, Medizin und Psychologie an der Universität Kasan. Ab 1923 war er am Institut für Psychologie der Lomonossow-Universität in Moskau, zunächst als Assistent bei Konstantin Kornilow, später als Leiter des Labors für allgemeine Psychologie tätig. Zusammen mit Lew Wygotski und Alexej Leontjew war Lurija in den 1920er Jahren einer der Protagonisten der heute als kulturhistorische Schule bekannten Arbeitszusammenhänge in der sowjetischen Psychologie. In den zwanziger Jahren war er Sekretär der Russischen Psychoanalytischen Vereinigung. Die Repressionsjahre überlebte er durch den Wechsel zur Neurologie. Anfang der 1930er Jahre wurde Lurija aus ideologischen Gründen gezwungen, seine Dozentenstelle für Psychologie in Moskau aufzugeben, und wandte sich dem Studium der Neurologie zu. Während des Krieges als Sanitätsoffizier spezialisierte er sich auf die Rehabilitation von Hirnverletzten. Ab 1944 arbeitete Lurija am Institut für Neurochirurgie in Moskau, wo er begann, das Wissenschaftsgebiet der Neuropsychologie auszubauen. Als eigenständiger Wissenschaftszweig befasst diese sich mit der Rolle individueller zerebraler Systeme für komplexe Formen geistiger Tätigkeit. Unter politischem Druck (u. a. wurde er des "Anti-Pawlowismus" bezichtigt) musste Lurija auch diese Stelle aufgeben, konnte einige Zeit später, nachdem sich mit dem Tod Stalins die fach-politischen Verhältnisse in der Sowjetunion gelockert hatten, seine wissenschaftliche Tätigkeit wieder aufnehmen. Leistungen: Lurija gilt als einer der Begründer der modernen Neuropsychologie. Mit seinen bahnbrechenden Arbeiten zur Aphasie und zur Rolle der Sprache in der geistigen Entwicklung des Kindes wuchs Lurijas Ansehen im Ausland, was schließlich auch im eigenen Land zu seiner beruflichen Rehabilitation führte. Er stand in freundschaftlichem Kontakt zu Wissenschaftlern wie Kurt Goldstein, Kurt Lewin, Jean Piaget, Oliver Sacks und Jerome Bruner. Bis zu seinem Tod 1977 arbeitete Lurija seine Methode der Syndromanalyse weiter aus. Ihren konkretesten Ausdruck findet diese in den beiden neurologischen Geschichten Kleines Porträt eines großen Gedächtnisses (1968) und Der Mann, dessen Welt in Scherben ging (1971). . . .
