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.
