inaccessable to foreigners. "The Secret Doctrine" was published in 1888 is her most famous work, in the same

she wrote "The Key to Theosophy" and "The Voice of the Silence".

Dante Alighieri was the greatest of Italian poets, and, many readers think, one of the greatest poets that Western civilization has produced.
He wrote the epic work Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) in dialect Italian. Divina Commedia represented the cosmology and
cosmogony of Dante's day. Dante also wrote De Monarchia, a treatise on political science. He believed that the purpose of government
was to preserve peace and the best form was a world monarchy. According to his concept, universe was a perfect, hierarchal, intelligible cosmos.
