(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 Remains of the Day    

TONIGHT, I find myself here in a guest house in the city of Salisbury. The
first day of my trip is now completed, and all in all, I must say I am quite
satisfied. This expedition began this morning almost an hour later than I had
planned, despite my having completed my packing and loaded the Ford with
all necessary items well before eight o'clock. What with Mrs Clements and
the girls also gone for the week, I suppose I was very conscious of the fact
that once I departed, Darlington Hall would stand empty for probably the
first time this century - perhaps for the first time since the day it was built. It
was an odd feeling and perhaps accounts for why I delayed my departure so
long, wandering around the house many times over, checking one last time
that all was in order.
It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. For the first twenty
minutes or so of motoring, I cannot say I was seized by any excitement or
anticipation at all. This was due, no doubt, to the fact that though I motored
further and further from the house, I continued to find myself in
surroundings with which I had at least a passing acquaintance. Now I had
always supposed I had travelled very little, restricted as I am by my
responsibilities in the house, but of course, over time, one does make various
excursions for one professional reason or another, and it would seem I have
become much more acquainted with those neighbouring districts than I had
realized. For as I say, as I motored on in the sunshine towards the Berkshire
border, I continued to be surprised by the familiarity of the country around
me.
But then eventually the surroundings grew unrecognizable and I knew I had
gone beyond all previous boundaries. I have heard people describe the
moment, when setting sail in a ship, when one finally loses sight of the land.
I imagine the experience of unease mixed with exhilaration often described
in connection with this moment is very similar to what I felt in the Ford as
the surroundings grew strange around me.
