Comments:
1. I strongly recommend "The Elective Affinities". I have read it already, but if it makes it, I would give it another try.
2. There is no point in insisting on "The Eagle and the Serpent" if the English translation is out of print. I'll read it and tell you if it's good.
3. I also read "The Tunnel" already, and it's good
