(Stories and novels) القصص والروايات
الرواية هي سرد نثري طويل يصف شخصيات خيالية أو واقعية وأحداثاً على شكل قصة متسلسلة، كما أنها أكبر الأجناس القصصية من حيث الحجم وتعدد الشخصيات وتنوع الأحداث، وقد ظهرت في أوروبا بوصفها جنساً أدبياً مؤثراً في القرن الثامن عشر، والرواية حكاية تعتمد السرد بما فيه من وصف وحوار وصراع بين الشخصيات وما ينطوي عليه ذلك من تأزم وجدل وتغذيه الأحداث
A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the Italian novella for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the Latin novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of novellus, diminutive of novus, meaning "new". Walter Scott made a distinction between the novel, in which (as he saw it) "events are accommodated to the ordinary train of human events and the modern state of society" and the romance, which he defined as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents". However, many such romances, including the historical romances of Scott, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, are also frequently called novels, and Scott describes romance as a "kindred term". This sort of romance is in turn different from the genre fiction love romance or romance novel
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood.

A dictionary definition is "an invented prose narrative shorter than a novel usually dealing with a few characters and aiming at unity of effect and often concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot."

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques.

The Grey King    

 He remembered Mary had said. They all speak Welsh, most of the time.
Even Aunt Jen.'
 'Oh, Dear,' said Will.
 'Don't worry,' his sister said. 'Sooner or later they switch to English, if they
see you're them. Just remember to he patient. And they'll be extra kind
because of your having been ill. At least they were to me, after my mumps.'
 So now Will stood patiently alone on the windy Grey platform of the small
station of Tywyn, in a thin drizzle of October rain, writing while two men in
the navy-blue railway uniform argued earnestly in Welsh. One of them was
small and wizened, gnome-like; the other had soft, squashy look like a man
made of dough.
 The gnome caught sight of Will. 'Beth sy'n bod?' he said.
 'Er - excuse me,' Will said. 'My uncle said he'd meet me off the train, in the
station yard, but there's no one outside. Could you tell me if there's
anywhere else he might have meant?'
 The gnome shook his head.
 'Who's your uncle, then?' inquired the soft-faced man.
 'Mr Evans, from Bryn-Crug. Clwyd Farm,' Will said.
 The gnome chuckled gently. 'David Evans will be a bit fate, boy bach. You
have a nice dreamer for an uncle. David Evans will be late when the Last 
Trump sounds. You just wait a while. On holiday, is it?' Bright dark eyes
peered inquisitively into his face.
 'Sort of. I've had hepatitis. The doctor said I had to come away to
convalesce.'
 'Ah!' The man nodded his had sagely. "You look a bit peaky, yes. Come to
the right place, though. The air on this coast is very relaxing, they say very
relaxing. Even It this time of year.'
