Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Although this book is a work of fiction, it is based on actual events. John Gross lived through those events.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Never has one character of the stage provoked such controversy or achieved such infamy as Shakespeare's enigmatic Shylock. For four centuries the money lender of "The Merchant of Venice" has been reinvented as both villain and victim, as an object of tragedy and comedy, and has been used as an economic symbol and often as a lightning rod for anti-Semitism. But what was Shakespeare's attitude toward the character described on the play's title page in 1600 as "a man of extreme crueltie," and what should be our own? With brilliant historical perspective and insight, theater critic John Gross...
