(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.

For Esther Forbes, the past was as alive as
the present. Forbes’s love of history dated
back to her earliest childhood days in rural
Massachusetts. The youngest of five children,
Esther was born in 1891 into a family with a
tradition of studying history. Her mother was
an antiquarian—an expert on objects from
much earlier times—whose work focused on
New England. Young Esther’s home was filled
with physical reminders connecting her present life to the past. The Forbes family also
preserved history with stories of its own past.
One of the stories was about an ancestor
jailed for witchcraft.
In these surroundings, Forbes quickly developed her love of history and of stories based on
historical events. She read widely—everything
from the classical Iliad, to her mother’s manuscripts, to books found in her attic. Not surprisingly, Forbes’s first attempt at a novel, written
at age thirteen, had a historical setting. Forbes
also spent time riding her pony through the
countryside of Massachusetts and scouring
ponds for turtles, which she collected.
