Manab Manik's My Poetic Offering is basically a sincere tribute to a man like Mr. W.H in Shakespeare's sonnets. In many verses the identity of this man has been revealed. He is none but the poet's teacher who has been elevated to the status of Divinity for his exceptional extraordinary qualities like love, beauty, kindness that have been slightly eclipsed in the sub-title 'Soulful Rhymes on Love, Beauty, Immortality and Divinity'. There is also divine atmosphere permeated in his soulful verses. Almost in every poem there is reference to the last chapter of the Bible --- the Book of Apocalypse where it is told that the virtuous soul will be rewarded one day. The poet also finds glory of his teacher in nature as the glory of the Supreme Teacher is manifested everywhere. The man and God are elided like the elision of two vowels. The recurrent use of the terms like 'thou', 'thee', 'thine', 'thy' 'art' gives solemnity to his soulful rhymes and emphasises the close relation among the poet and his teacher and the Supreme Teacher. Manab's 'My Poetic Offering' also throws light on the invocation of divinity, mythopoetic imagination, nostalgic atmosphere, the emotional outburst in using recurrent apostrophes, love, beauty, generosity, immortality, divinity, deep and tender feeling in describing aches and thorns of life, the recurrent use of the images of bird, trees, flowers like lotus, sunflower, rose, laurel plants, cultivation, nurturing, Apollo, Sun and so on.

The artistic work of Leo Tolstoy has been described as 'nothing less than one tremendous diary kept for over fifty years'. This particular 'diary' begins with Tolstoy's first published work, Childhood, which was written when he was only twenty-three. A semi-autobiographical work, it recounts two days in the childhood of ten-year-old Nikolai Irtenev, recreating vivid impressions of people, place and events with the exuberant perspective of a child enriched by the ironic retrospective understanding of an adult. Boyhood and Youth soon followed, and Tolstoy was launched on the literary career that would bring him immortality.
