The Merchant of Venice

By Gareth Hinds

A moody and mesmerizing modern graphic-novel adaptation of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.

The Merchant of Venice tells 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 Bassanio's heartfelt efforts – and a clever intervention by Portia – will save Antonio from paying Shylock "a pound of flesh". This graphic-novel adaptation boasts a chic modern cast, high drama, and all the dark, familiar beauty of Venice. With elegant drawings and a faithful but succinct adaptation, Gareth Hinds pays homage to the Bard while luring modern readers with a stylish new vision.

Reviews

'An intriguing adaptation … It’s always a benefit to see Shakespeare acted out, to make the universal situations clear to the modern viewer, and that benefit extends to the graphic medium, especially when the characters have a sense of motion, as here.' Publishers Weekly
