The Jew of Venice: A Play in Five Acts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434457677)

This forgotten masterpiece of French drama is a reworking of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice--from the point-of-view of Shylock. Ferdinand Dugué succeeds in making the Venetian money-lender entirely believable--embittered, mercenary, tragic, and ultimately Jewish. One of the best modern adaptations of the Bard ever written.
