«The Merchant of Venice» is a play by William Shakespeare, published by SEI in 2001 in paperback (79 pages, in Italian).
Antonio, a merchant of Venice, borrows money from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, to help Bassanio court Portia. Shylock, resentful of the treatment he has received, demands a pound of flesh as security; when the deadline passes, the conflict goes to court and Portia intervenes. The play pits justice against mercy and addresses revenge and intolerance.
For students of literature and fans of classical theatre and Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
