I think you would like Dead Souls by Gogol. It has the same kind of biting criticism as the idiot, but it's a bit darker (if I remember right) - not as dark as C&P, but darker than the idiot

Thanks. Yeah am not really looking for dark themes but as you said, 'biting criticism' of society and 'the human condition'

The idiot is darker than crime and punishment...
