(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.

Orlando    

HE–FOR THERE COULD be no doubt of his
sex, though the fashion of the time did something to disguise it–was in the act of slicing
at the head of a Moor which swung from the
rafters. It was the colour of an old football,
and more or less the shape of one, save for the
sunken cheeks and a strand or two of coarse,
dry hair, like the hair on a cocoanut. Orlando’s
father, or perhaps his grandfather, had struck
it from the shoulders of a vast Pagan who
had started up under the moon in the barbarian fields of Africa; and now it swung, gently,
perpetually, in the breeze which never ceased
blowing through the attic rooms of the gigantic
house of the lord who had slain him.
Orlando’s fathers had ridden in fields of asphodel, and stony fields, and fields watered
by strange rivers, and they had struck many
heads of many colours off many shoulders, and
brought them back to hang from the rafters. So
too would Orlando, he vowed. But since he
was sixteen only, and too young to ride with
them in Africa or France, he would steal away
from his mother and the peacocks in the garden
and go to his attic room and there lunge and
plunge and slice the air with his blade. Sometimes he cut the cord so that the skull bumped
on the floor and he had to string it up again,
fastening it with some chivalry almost out of
reach so that his enemy grinned at him through
shrunk, black lips triumphantly.
