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 Dugue 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. | The Jew of Venice by Ferdinand Dugue, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
