Ten great Russian novels


I was reading a book of literary criticism (Tolstoy or Dostoevsky - George Steiner), and the writer said casually that these ten novels are the great Russian novels of the golden era of the 19th century (golden era for Russian novels):

Dead Souls - Gogol
Fathers and Sons - Turgenev
Oblomov - Goncharov
A Hero of Our Time - Lermontov
War and Peace - Tolstoy
Anna Karenina - Tolstoy
Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky
The Possessed - Dostoevsky
The Idiot - Dostoevsky
Brothers Karamazov - Dostoevsky

I only replaced Tolstoy's Resurrection with Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time.
