Reading the title, one cannot help but recall the witticism of the unsurpassed Oscar Wilde: “Divorces are made in heaven”!

Reading the title, one cannot help but recall the witticism of the unsurpassed Oscar Wilde: “Divorces are made in heaven”! The authors unexpectedly agree with him (Oleg Ivik is the collective pseudonym of Olga Kolobova, a journalist and amateur archaeologist, and Valery Ivanov, a programmer and amateur historian). In any case, the first divorce, they say, took place between the ancient Egyptian gods. The earthly Egyptians did not lag behind, despite the fact that they were allowed polygamy. So, from ancient times and lands, the authors bring history almost to the present day, recalling both the unhappy marriage of Anna Karenina and the short marriage of Ostap Bender to Madame Gritsatsuyeva. Easy, fun and informative read.
