Shylock is my name : William Shakespeare's The merchant of Venice retold Cover Image Book Book

Shylock is my name : William Shakespeare's The merchant of Venice retold / Howard Jacobson.

Jacobson, Howard, (author.). Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 Merchant of Venice. (Added Author).

Summary:

In The Merchant of Venice, the merchant Antonio borrows from the Jewish moneylender Shylock, whom he openly despises, to help fund his friend Bassanio's wooing of the beautiful, prized Portia. Shylock agrees--but on the condition that Antonio promise in return a pound of flesh should he be unable to repay the debt. When Antonio's ships are lost at sea and it becomes clear he cannot, the case goes to court: Antonio must honour his promise--until an unknown lawyer (Portia herself, dressed as a man) arrives and brilliantly picks the case apart.
