First Encounters: The Merchant of Venice
Work:: First Encounters: The Merchant of Venice (S0298482341)
'The world is still deceived by ornament' Venice is a multi-cultural melting pot and the trading centre of the world, a place where everything has a value. High stakes are placed on beauty and choices are made on appearance rather than reality. But when one of three boxes holds all you've ever wanted, should you really decide on looks alone?
