From the Russians, I would add Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog, and Sholokhov's And Quiet Flows the Don. The latter two are not public domain, but the Turgenev is.
Since you like science fiction, try David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus.
I always appreciate the recommendation of fine Russian authors.

I've sampled Bulgakov before but have not tried the other two. Just need to amend by Russian TBR list.
