The Merchant of Venice: A Graphic Novel (Shakespeare Classics Graphic Novels)

With elegant, contemporary artwork and a faithful but succinct adaptation, this graphic novel casts a classic drama in a provocative new light.

Here is the tale of young Bassanio, who, to win the love of fair Portia, entangles his dearest friend, Antonio, in a dangerous bargain with the moneylender Shylock. Only Bassanioâ€™s heartfelt efforts â€” and a clever intervention by Portia â€” will save Antonio from paying Shylock "a pound of flesh." Moody and mesmerizing, this graphic novel adaptation of one of Shakespeareâ€™s more controversial plays boasts a chic modern cast, high drama, and all the dark, familiar beauty of Venice.
