A Sinhala translation of The Merchant of Venice, the play by William Shakespeare, prepared by V.D. De Lenarol and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co.
The whole book is in Sinhala. There is no English text alongside it, so it will be of use to readers who are comfortable reading Sinhala prose — students working through Shakespeare in their own language, teachers, and readers abroad who want Sri Lankan editions of the English dramatists on their shelves. Buyers who do not read Sinhala should know this before ordering.
Shakespeare's play has been the source of numerous stage productions and films, and it remains one of the English works most often carried into other languages. This edition belongs to that tradition of translation, bringing the text to a Sinhala readership through a local publishing house with a long presence in the island's book trade.
