A few suggestions to add to E. Brontë and Tomasi (both strong contenders): - "All About H. Hatterr" by G.V. Desani - "The Rack" by A.E. Ellis - "The Good Soldier Švejk" by Jaroslav Hašek - "The Manuscript Found in Saragossa" by Jan Potocki

The Movie with Burt Lancaster and Alain Deloin, directed Lucino Visconti, is great as well.

The movie is incredible and takes about as long as the book
