(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 Shack    

March unleashed a torrent of rainfall after an abnormally dry winter. A cold front out of
Canada then descended and was held in place by a swirling wind that roared down the Gorge
from eastern Oregon. Although spring was surely just around the corner, the god of winter
was not about to relinquish its hard-won dominion without a tussle. There was a blanket of
new snow in the Cascades, and rain was now freezing on impact with the frigid ground
outside the house; enough reason for Mack to snuggle up with a book and a hot cider and
wrap up in the warmth of a crackling fire. But instead, he spent the better part of the morning
telecommuting into his downtown desktop. Sitting comfortably in his home office wearing
pajama pants and a T-shirt, he made his sales calls, mostly to the East Coast. He paused
frequently, listening to the sound of crystalline rain tinging off his window and watching the
slow but steady accumulation of frozen ice thickening on everything outside. He was
becoming inexorably trapped as an ice-prisoner in his own home—much to his delight.
There is something joyful about storms that interrupt routine. Snow or freezing rain
suddenly releases you from expectations, performance demands, and the tyranny of
appointments and schedules. And unlike illness, it is largely a corporate rather than individual
experience. One can almost hear a unified sigh rise from the nearby city and surrounding
countryside where Nature has intervened to give respite to the weary humans slogging it out
within her purview. All those affected this way are united by a mutual excuse, and the heart is
suddenly and unexpectedly a little giddy. There will be no apologies needed for not showing
up to some commitment or other. Everyone understands and shares in this singular
justification, and the sudden alleviation of the pressure to produce makes the heart merry.
Of course, it is also true that storms interrupt business and, while a few companies make
a bit extra, some companies lose money—meaning there are those who find no joy when
everything shuts down temporarily. But they can’t blame anyone for their loss of production,
or for not being able to make it to the office. Even if it’s hardly more than a day or two,
somehow each person feels like the master of his or her own world, simply because those
little droplets of water freeze as they hit the ground.
