What if Shakespeare's plays read like the page-turning novels they truly are?
The Merchant of Venice is packed with drama, romance, clever twists, and moral dilemmas-but when read as a play, it can feel distant or hard to follow. This novelization reimagines the story in smooth, modern prose that captures the heart of Shakespeare's plot while making it more immersive for today's reader.
Follow Bassanio, a young Venetian noble, as he sets out to win the hand of the intelligent and wealthy Portia. To do so, he must borrow money from his friend Antonio-who, in turn, strikes a dangerous deal with the infamous moneylender Shylock. As courtroom tension rises and disguises unravel, the line between justice and revenge becomes razor-thin.
Whether you're discovering the story for the first time or revisiting it with fresh eyes, this adaptation brings Shakespeare's characters and conflicts to life in a way that's accessible, fast-paced, and emotionally engaging.
Part of a growing series of Shakespeare retold as fiction.
