Alexander Luria
ELKOST Intl. literary agency handles world rights in the literary estate of Alexander R. Luria (1902-1977).
Alexander R. Luria (1902-77) was one of the most significant psychological researchers and theorists of the 20th century and is often referred to in world scientific circles as A FATHER OF NEUROPSYCHOLOGY. Luria's works were published by most prominent academic and mass-market-oriented publishers all over the world. However, in numerous cases Luria's text were not translated from his original Russian manuscript, but from other translations. Also, in overwhelming majority of countries where Luria's books were published (except maybe Germany) these publications had a sporadic character and therefore lack a comprehensive approach to overall Luria's scientific accomplishments.
Today, following a standstill in Luria's publications caused both by a dissolution of old Soviet mechanisms of foreign translation rights licensing and by uncertain situation with Luria's literary estate caused by a tragic death of his daughter Elena in 1993, a new opportunity surged to bring a unique corpus of Alexander Luria's writings back again to interested reader. This time Luria's books are systematized and complemented by his never-before-published works from great scientist's personal archive.
Among other Luria's works, we offer to all interested publishers a book entitled 'The Scientific Autobiography of Alexander Luria' intended for a most general audience. Along with Luria's own text, this volume contain a biographical essay dedicated to Alexander Luria authored by his daughter Elena, a distinguished scientist herself. Luria's autobiography was first published in the USA in 1972 and republished recently (2005, L. Erlbaum Associates). Elena Luria's essay appeared in Russian during perestroika and was never published abroad.
There's a lot of material in Luria's archive waiting to be published, including his working notes, not-published articles and essays, and his correspondence with the most prominent scientists of XXth century including Sigmund Freud and Lev Vygotsky.
