The Merchant of Venice

Despre carte

In Venice, the merchant Antonio borrows money so that his friend can woo a beautiful lady, and agrees that if he cannot repay Shylock the moneylender, Shylock may take a pound of his flesh. When Antonio's ships sink and his fortune is lost, Shylock insists on the gruesome payment. Retold for young readers by Andrew Matthews, illustrated by Tony Ross, with notes on Shakespeare, the Globe Theatre and love, hate and mercy in the play.
