The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene
The story concerns a morally flawed priest who struggles inwardly between a desire to return to a life of safety, and his obligation to serve the Catholics who live in a region where the anti-religious laws are being enforced with particular severity
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
But I will say that, while War and Peace has a number of negative elements, it is more readable than people might think. And, overall, the reading experience is rewarding.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Published in 1962, A Clockwork Orange might soon have been forgotten had it not been made into a celebrated and notorious Stanley Kubrick movie.
