(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.

Rob Roy    

You have requested me, my dear friend, to bestow some of that leisure,
with which Providence has blessed the decline of my life, in registering the
hazards and difficulties which attended its commencement. The recollection of
those adventures, as you are pleased to term them, has indeed left upon my
mind a chequered and varied feeling of pleasure and of pain, mingled, I trust,
with no slight gratitude and veneration to the Disposer of human events, who
guided my early course through much risk and labour, that the ease with which
he has blessed my prolonged life might seem softer from remembrance and
contrast. Neither is it possible for me to doubt, what you have often affirmed,
that the incidents which befell me among a people singularly primitive in their
government and manners, have something interesting and attractive for those
who love to hear an old man's stories of a past age.
Still, however, you must remember, that the tale told by one friend, and
listened to by another, loses half its charms when committed to paper; and that
the narratives to which you have attended with interest, as heard from the
voice of him to whom they occurred, will appear less deserving of attention
when perused in the seclusion of your study. But your greener age and robust
constitution promise longer life than will, in all human probability, be the lot
of your friend. Throw, then, these sheets into some secret drawer of your
escritoire till we are separated from each other's society by an event which
may happen at any moment, and which must happen within the course of a
few—a very few years. When we are parted in this world, to meet, I hope, in a
better, you will, I am well aware, cherish more than it deserves the memory of
your departed friend, and will find in those details which I am now to commit
to paper, matter for melancholy, but not unpleasing reflection. Others bequeath
to the confidants of their bosom portraits of their external features—I put into
your hands a faithful transcript of my thoughts and feelings, of my virtues and
of my failings, with the assured hope, that the follies and headstrong
impetuosity of my youth will meet the same kind construction and forgiveness
which have so often attended the faults of my matured age.
