THE MAN WITH A SHATTERED WORLD: THE HISTORY OF A BRAIN WOUND by A. R. Luria; Translated from the Russian by Lynn Solotaroff; with a Foreword by Oliver Sacks, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, Copyright © 1972 by Michael Cole. Foreword copyright © 1987 by Oliver Sacks.
"Zjoek/Zhuk," written and directed by Erik van Zuyen (1987)https://luria.ucsd.edu/AudioVideo/Zhuk.mp4..
Lev Zasetsky could have been an anonymous human data point in history’s largest conflict -- just another one of tens of millions of casualties in World War II, the treatment of which stretched deep into the Cold War. But his particular brain injury was so peculiar that he drew the interest of Alexander Luria, the Soviet Union’s most accomplished neuropsychologist, as Lev became a complex mix of scientific oddity and miracle.
Zasetsky’s form of aphasia resulted in him being able to write, but not read his own writing or even understand all of what he had written. It’s a case that delves into the earliest history of Popular Science and reframes our modern understanding of psychology, history, language, communication, and the human spirit.
