(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.

Lost Horizon    

During that third week of May the situation in Baskul had become much
worse and, on the 20th, air force machines arrived by arrangement from
Peshawar to evacuate the white residents. These numbered about eighty,
and most were safely transported across the mountains in troop carriers. A
few miscellaneous aircraft were also employed, among them being a cabin
machine lent by the maharajah of Chandrapur. In this, about 10 a.m., four
passengers embarked: Miss Roberta Brinklow, of the Eastern Mission;
Henry D. Barnard, an American; Hugh Conway, H.M. Consul; and Captain
Charles Mallinson, H.M. Vice Consul.
These names are as they appeared later in Indian and British newspapers.
Conway was thirty-seven. He had been at Baskul for two years, in a job
which now, in the light of events, could be regarded as a persistent backing
of the wrong horse. A stage of his life was finished; in a few weeks' time, or
perhaps after a few months' leave in England, he would be sent somewhere
else. Tokyo or Teheran, Manila or Muscat; people in his profession never
knew what was coming. He had been ten years in the Consular Service,
long enough to assess his own chances as shrewdly as he was apt to do
those of others. He knew that the plums were not for him; but it was
genuinely consoling, and not merely sour grapes, to reflect that he had no
taste for plums. He preferred the less formal and more picturesque jobs
that were on offer, and as these were often not good ones, it had doubtless
seemed to others that he was playing his cards rather badly. Actually, he
felt he had played them rather well; he had had a varied and moderately
enjoyable decade.
