William ShakespeareMerchant of Venice (Paperback)

About
Bassanio, a noble but impoverished Venetian, asks his friend the merchant Antonio for a loan to impress an heiress. Antonio agrees, but is forced to borrow the sum from a cynical Jewish moneylender, Shylock, who forces him into a chilling contract, which stipulates he must honour the debt with a pound of his own flesh.
William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is both a witty comedy and a moving exploration of bigotry and stigmatisation, and this Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by W. Moelwyn Merchant with an introduction by Peter Holland.
'The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven'
Wipe Out!
Do you ever wish you could wipe the slate clean and start over fresh? Many of us can only dream of moving away and starting a new life--unless, of course, you end up in the witness protection program.
Let's let our imaginations run wild for a second and imagine we could start over!
Where would you choose to reinvent yourself?
You could move to Amsterdam, take up painting, and live on a houseboat--but with all the South African expats there, you're likely to run into someone you know...
Or how about relocating to a humble home on one of the many rolling hills of the Eastern Cape's Wild Coast? Life would be quieter for sure.
Or you could keep it simple: forget the metaphorical slate and just make sure your dishes are wiped clean with today's deal on Sunlight dishwashing liquid!
