«Il mercante di Venezia» is the play by William Shakespeare, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (100 pages, in Italian).
The play is set in Venice and pits a Jewish moneylender against a Christian merchant; the conflict pushes tolerance to its limit and turns it into revenge. The tension between the two communities culminates in a trial where justice and mercy clash.
Complete edition published in 1996 in the Tascabili Economici Newton series, with an introduction by Tommaso Pisanti and a translation by Paola Ojetti.
It is of particular interest to students of Italian and readers of classic literature who want to read the work in its original language.
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.
