Top 10 Greatest Russian Novels

[ritter]

It counts, but for top 10 worst Russian novels.

Not only Russian....

[Spineur]

Well, Zăpezile albastre is precisely the Romanian translation of the title.  The original title is Błękitne śniegi. Bednarski is Polish, not Russian. 

EDIT: Typo in author's name.

Yes I knew he was polish, but the book is about his (rather unhappy) russian period.  He is in a way a russo-polish author.

I believe I belong in a class "haven't read even 10 Russian novels" but from those that I have read...

Dostoyevsky: The Brothers Karamazov (my absolute favorite piece of Russian literature, too bad Dostoyevsky never lived to write the planned sequel to it)
Dostoyevsky: Crime and Punishment
Dostoyevsky: The Gambler
Tolstoy: Anna Karenina (cheating because I haven't read it completely at all but the reason I left it off was not because of boredom (War and Peace I left off because of boredom) but because the train incident near the beginning of the book was too painful for me at the time. When I have time, I will certainly read it completely. What I read, I liked a lot.

Also, if one can mention short stories and plays despite the word "novel" in the title, I would nominate Pushkin's The Miserly Knight, The Queen of Spades and the Golden Cockerel. Magnificent works and they made terrific libretto material to three of my favorite Russian operas by Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov respectively.
