Recommend me Classics that doesn't have love story, romance, feelings, etc. as a main theme. But they can be present.
Examples I've read so far:
Brothers Karamazov
Crime and Punishment
Master and Margarita
East of Eden
Picture of Dorian Gray
Count of Monte Cristo
Examples of what I don't want to read:
Anna Karenina
War and Peace
Pride and Prejudice
Wuthering Heights
In my TBR are other works of Dostoevsky, Steinbeck.
But I want to explore works of other authors before going back to the same ones.
Was thinking about Les Miserables, maybe?

I really enjoy Dickens. Most of his books have people getting married, but they very rarely focus on that relationship very hard. He is wordy, but you sound used to that.
Recommend David Copperfield or Nickolas Nickleby, or really most anything.
The Plague by Camus
Huckleberry Finn
Don Quijote
Candide
