作者简介
威廉•莎士比亚(1564—1616),英国文艺复兴时期伟大的剧作家、诗人,欧洲文艺复兴时期人文主义文学的集大成者,全世界很好的文学家之一。英国戏剧家本•琼森称他为“时代的灵魂”,马克思称他与古希腊的埃斯库罗斯为“人类伟大的戏剧天才”。 莎士比亚流传下来的作品包括38部剧本、154首十四行诗、两首长叙事诗和其他诗作。其中代表作主要为诗剧:《李尔王》《哈姆莱特》《奥赛罗》《罗密欧与朱丽叶》《威尼斯商人》等。他的作品是人文主义文学的杰出代表,在世界文学目前占有重要的地位。他的作品直至今日依旧广受欢迎,在优选以不同文化和政治形式演出和诠释。
目录
威尼斯青年巴萨尼奥为了向富有的鲍西娅求婚, 向朋友安东尼奥借款。由于安东尼奥的资金都投在了海上的货物, 只好向高利贷商人夏洛克借钱。夏洛克长期不满安东尼奥, 于是在借款条约中规定如果安东尼奥不能按时还款, 则要从他身上割下一磅肉。巴萨尼奥求婚顺利, 但是安东尼奥却无力还款, 即将面临生命危险。于是, 鲍西娅乔装为律师, 用精彩的辩护为他们解了围。
