(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 Caine Mutiny    

"The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial"
This Pulitzer Prize winning drama takes the court martial proceedings against an upright lieutenant
who relieved his captain of command in the midst of a harrowing typhoon on the grounds that the
captain was psychopathic in the crisis. The Lt. felt the Captain was directing the ship and its crew to
certain death and destruction. The odds, along with all naval tradition are against the Lieutenant.
However as the witnesses enter the scene and are cross examined during the trial, the weakness of
the character of the Captain is revealed in a devastating picture of personal disintegration. With the
Captain, upright and proud as he is, trying the dispel any untruths about him, tells, with extreme
complexity, the stories of the strawberry incident, the cheese incident and the water incident. Then,
as each member called to witness, the story begins to unfold. The Lieutenant begins to look like a
true mutineer, and may go down for his acts aboard the ship. The Captain begins to be painted as a
psychopath, or possibly just a naval officer who has had one too many near death experiences. This
story is sad, heartbreaking and extremely powerful. It shows the lengths some will go, but does the
means truly justify the end? You be the judge!
