(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.

Kim
“Oh ye who tread the Narrow Way By Tophet-flare to Judgement
Day, Be gentle when the heathen pray To Buddha at Kamakura!”
He sat, in defiance of municipal orders, astride the gun ZamZammah on her brick platform opposite the old Ajaib-Gher- the
Wonder House, as the natives call the Lahore Museum. Who hold
Zam-Zammah, that “fire-breathing dragon,” hold the Punjab, for
the great green-bronze piece is always first of the conqueror’s loot.
There was some justification for Kim- he had kicked Lala
Dinanath’s boy off the trunnions- since the English held the Punjab
and Kim was English. Though he was burned black as any native;
though he spoke the vernacular by preference, and his mothertongue in a clipped uncertain sing-song; though he consorted on
terms of perfect equality with the small boys of the bazar; Kim was
white- a poor white of the very poorest. The half-caste woman who
looked after him (she smoked opium, and pretended to keep a
second-hand furniture shop by the square where the cheap cabs
wait) told the missionaries that she was Kim’s mother’s sister; but
his mother had been nursemaid in a colonels family and had
married Kimball O’Hara, a young colour-sergeant the Mavericks,
an Irish regiment.
