(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 Name of the Rose

ON AUGUST 16, 1968, I WAS HANDED A BOOK WRITTEN by a certain Abbé Vallet, Le Manuscrit
de Dom Adson de Melk, traduit en français d’après l’édition de Dom J. Mabillon (Aux Presses de
l’Abbaye de la Source, Paris, 1842). Supplemented by historical information that was actually quite
scant, the book claimed to reproduce faithfully a fourteenth-century manuscript that, in its turn, had
been found in the monastery of Melk by the great eighteenth-century man of learning, to whom we
owe so much information about the history of the Benedictine order. The scholarly discovery (I mean
mine, the third in chronological order) entertained me while I was in Prague, waiting for a dear friend.
Six days later Soviet troops invaded that unhappy city. I managed, not without adventure, to reach
the Austrian border at Linz, and from there I journeyed to Vienna, where I met my beloved, and
together we sailed up the Danube.
In a state of intellectual excitement, I read with fascination the terrible story of Adso of Melk, and I
allowed myself to be so absorbed by it that, almost in a single burst of energy, I completed a
translation, using some of those large notebooks from the Papeterie Joseph Gibert in which it is so
pleasant to write if you use a felt-tip pen. And as I was writing, we reached the vicinity of Melk,
where, perched over a bend in the river, the handsome Stift stands to this day, after several
restorations during the course of the centuries. As the reader must have guessed, in the monastery
library I found no trace of Adso’s manuscript.
