(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 Rainmaker    

My decision to become a lawyer was irrevocably sealed when I realized my father hated the legal
profession. I was a young teenager, clumsy, embarrassed by my awkwardness, frustrated with life,
horrified of puberty, about to be shipped off to a military school by my father for insubordination. He was
an ex-Marine who believed boys should live by the crack of the whip. I’d developed a quick tongue and
an aversion to discipline, and his solution was simply to send me away. It was years before I forgave him.
He was also an industrial engineer who worked seventy hours a week for a company that made,
among many other items, ladders. Because by their very nature ladders are dangerous devices, his
company became a frequent target of lawsuits. And because he handled design, my father was the favorite
choice to speak for the company in depositions and trials. I can’t say that I blame him for hating lawyers,
but I grew to admire them because they made his life so miserable. He’d spend eight hours haggling with
them, then hit the martinis as soon as he walked in the door. No hellos. No hugs. No dinner. Just an hour or
so of continuous bitching while he slugged down four martinis then passed out in his battered recliner.
One trial lasted three weeks, and when it ended with a large verdict against the company my mother
called a doctor and they hid him in a hospital for a month.
The company later went broke, and of course all blame was directed at the lawyers. Not once did I
hear any talk that maybe a trace of mismanagement could in any way have contributed to the bankruptcy.
Liquor became his life, and he became depressed. He went years without a steady job, which really
ticked me off because I was forced to wait tables and deliver pizza so I could claw my way through
college. I think I spoke to him twice during the four years of my undergraduate studies. The day after I
learned I had been accepted to law school, I proudly returned home with this great news. Mother told me
later he stayed in bed for a week.
