Es'kia Mphahlele's seminal memoir of life in apartheid South
Africa-available for the first time in Penguin Classics Nominated
for the Nobel Prize in 1969, Es'kia Mphahlele is considered the
Dean of African Letters and the father of black South African
writing. Down Second Avenue is a landmark book that describes
Mphahlele's experience growing up in segregated South Africa.
Vivid, graceful, and unapologetic, it details a daily life of
severe poverty and brutal police surveillance under the subjugation
of an apartheid regime. Banned in South Africa after its original
1959 publication for its protest against apartheid, Down Second
Avenue is a foundational work of literature that continues to
inspire activists today. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin
has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the
English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin
Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout
history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series
to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes
by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as
up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
