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.

    Far from the Madding Crowd
When Farmer Oak smiled, the corners of his mouth spread till they were
within an unimportant distance of his ears, his eyes were reduced to chinks,
and diverging wrinkles appeared round them, extending upon his countenance like
the rays in a rudimentary sketch of the rising sun.
His Christian name was Gabriel, and on working days he was a young man
of sound judgement, easy motions, proper dress, and general good character. On
Sundays he was a man of misty views, rather given to postponing, and hampered
by his best clothes and umbrella: upon the whole, one who felt himself to occupy
morally that vast middle space of Laodicean neutrality which lay between the
Communion people of the parish and the drunken section, — that is, he went
to church, but yawned privately by the time the congregation reached the Nicene
creed, and thought of what there would be for dinner when he meant to be listening
to the sermon. Or, to state his character as it stood in the scale of public opinion,
when his friends and critics were in tantrums, he was considered rather a bad man;
when they were pleased, he was rather a good man; when they were neither, he
was a man whose moral colour was a kind of pepper-and-salt mixture
