I did try Dostoeyvesky, but almost all such authors seem too depressing to me. I have read Anna Karanina and a few short stories of Tolstoy, but they too pretty much harp on pain, misery and suffering. Of course, those things too are part of life and therefore literature, I suppose!! How much land does a man need? is my favourite by Tolstoy.

And then there is Any Rand who also talks about the Russian Revolution in We the living, but I suppose you cannot talk of that as a classic, atleast going by Ravi's definition, you cant 'cos Rand wrote after WW II.

Anyone read a book on Anastasia Romanov? I have seen the (non-animated) movie.
