(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 Moonstone

IN some of my former novels, the object proposed has been to trace the
influence of circumstances upon character. In the present story I have
reversed the process. The attempt made here is to trace the influence of
character on circumstances. The conduct pursued, under a sudden
emergency, by a young girl, supplies the foundation on which I have built
this book.
The same object has been kept in view in the handling of the other
characters which appear in these pages. Their course of thought and action
under the circumstances which surround them is shown to be (what it would
most probably have been in real life) sometimes right and sometimes wrong.
Right or wrong, their conduct, in either event, equally directs the course of
those portions of the story in which they are concerned.
In the case of the physiological experiment which occupies a prominent
place in the closing scenes of The Moonstone, the same principle has guided
me once more. Having first ascertained, not only from books, but from living
authorities as well, what the result of that experiment would really have been,
I have declined to avail myself of the novelist’s privilege of supposing
something which might have happened, and have so shaped the story as to
make it grow out of what actually would have happened — which, I beg to
inform my readers, is also what actually does happen, in these pages.
