(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.

Harriet, the Spy    

HARRIET WAS TRYING to explain to Sport how to play
Town.“See, first you make up the name of the town.Then
you write down the names of all the people who live in it.
You can’t have too many or it gets too hard. I usually have
twenty-five.”
“Ummmm.” Sport was tossing a football in the air.They
were in the courtyard of Harriet’s house on East Eightyseventh Street in Manhattan.
“Then when you know who lives there, you make up
what they do. For instance, Mr Charles Hanley runs the
filling station on the corner.” Harriet spoke thoughtfully as
she squatted next to the big tree, bending so low over her
notebook that her long straight hair touched the edges.
“Don’tcha wanta play football?” Sport asked.
“Now, listen, Sport, you never did this and it’s fun. Now
over here next to this curve in the mountain we’ll put the
filling station. So if anything happens there, you remember
where it is.”
Sport tucked the football under his arm and walked
over to her.“That’s nothing but an old tree root.Whaddya
mean, a mountain?”
“That’s a mountain. From now on that’s a mountain.
Got it?” Harriet looked up into his face.
Sport moved back a pace.“Looks like an old tree root,”
he muttered.
Harriet pushed her hair back and looked at him
seriously.“Sport, what are you going to be when you grow
up?”
“You know what. You know I’m going to be a ball
player.”
“Well, I’m going to be a writer.And when I say that’s a
mountain, that’s a mountain.” Satisfied, she turned back to
her town.
