Herein lies a natural union, ancient Hebrew literature in a classical English poetic form: the book of Proverbs in heroic couplets. The book of Proverbs is the masterpiece of world wisdom literature, one of the oldest and by far the most read. It is a collection of sayings gathered ostensibly to provide practical guidance for young men entering life in ancient Israel. It advises on diplomacy in the royal court, civic participation in the urban community, diligence in the agrarian world, and shrewdness in neighborly relations. It teaches the student how to be a citizen in a civilized society. Its interests lie in the emergence of wisdom over folly, sagacity over dullness, generosity over selfishness, industriousness over negligence, moderation over indulgence, and devotion over irreverence. It provides the reader with a guide to living well and as such is the success manual of the ancient Hebrew world. As a book in both the Jewish and Christian Bibles, Proverbs continues to provide contemporary men and women with practical advice. Bill Billions stands in a long tradition of rendering classical texts into English heroic couplets. In the 1590s Martial’s Epigrammaton was so translated, as well as works of Ovid. In 1615 George Chapman came out with his translation of Homer's Odyssey, celebrated by John Keats as "Chapman's Homer," and in 1720 Alexander Pope published his completed translation of Homer’s Iliad. The heroic couplet is a pair of rhymed iambic-pentameter lines. Each line has ten syllables with a stress occurring on every second syllable (with occasional variations). By reworking the book of Proverbs into heroic couplets, Bill Billions brings the text alive. With his masterful use of alliteration, plays on words, meter, and rhyme, he presents a familiar book in a fresh light, illustrating how literature can be both didactic and entertaining. While giving instruction, it can also provide pleasure. Paperback, Label: Giganano Books, Giganano Books, Product group: Book, Published: 2001-12, Studio: Giganano Books, Sales rank: 9773261.
