Well, you are not really asking me to recommend Idiot or War and Peace - are you? :-)I looked on the Internet and found good info on those two people, apparently there is indeed plenty of recognition for their work.
So given what I know about their work, I would say War and Peace plus Idiot would make a good start.
However, they also have Anna Karenina, and what spurred my biggest interest - Master and Margarita. I presume you are already familiar with Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, in which case maybe you should start with Bulgakov? It is one hell of a book!
