About This Book

La narració segueix un comerciant venecià abatut mentre el seu amic demana un préstec per perseguir la cort d'una rica hereva; el préstec s'aconsegueix amb una condició brutal imposada per un prestador que exigeix una paga física si el deute no es retorna, fet que provoca un procés judicial decisiu. Alhora hi ha una escapada amorosa i enganys d'identitat que aporten humor i resolució. L'obra contrasta llei i misericòrdia, amistat i venjança, i combina elements tràgics i còmics per explorar prejudicis socials, deute, lleialtat i la naturalesa de la justícia.
