(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 Quiet American    

I have asked permission to dedicate this book to you not only in memory of the happy
evenings I have spent with you in Saigon* over the last five years, but also because I
have quite shamelessly borrowed the location of your flat to house one of my characters,
and your name, Phuong, for the convenience of readers because it is simple, beautiful and
easy to pronounce, which is not true of all your country-women's names. You will both
realise I have borrowed little else, certainly not the characters of anyone in Viet Nam.
Pyle, Granger, Fowler, Vigot, Joe-these have had no originals in the life of Saigon or
Hanoi,* and General The is dead: shot in the back,* so they say. Even the historical
events have been rearranged. For example, the big bomb near the Continental* preceded
and did not follow the bicycle bombs. I have no scruples about such small changes. This
is a story and not a piece of history, and I hope that as a story about a few imaginary
characters it will pass for both of you one hot Saigon evening
