(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 Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains    

Some notable sight was drawing the passengers, both men and women, to
the window; and therefore I rose and crossed the car to see what it was. I saw
near the track an enclosure, and round it some laughing men, and inside it
some whirling dust, and amid the dust some horses, plunging, huddling, and
dodging. They were cow ponies in a corral, and one of them would not be
caught, no matter who threw the rope. We had plenty of time to watch this
sport, for our train had stopped that the engine might take water at the tank
before it pulled us up beside the station platform of Medicine Bow. We were
also six hours late, and starving for entertainment. The pony in the corral was
wise, and rapid of limb. Have you seen a skilful boxer watch his antagonist
with a quiet, incessant eye? Such an eye as this did the pony keep upon
whatever man took the rope. The man might pretend to look at the weather,
which was fine; or he might affect earnest conversation with a bystander: it
was bootless. The pony saw through it. No feint hoodwinked him. This animal
was thoroughly a man of the world. His undistracted eye stayed fixed upon the
dissembling foe, and the gravity of his horse-expression made the matter one
of high comedy. Then the rope would sail out at him, but he was already
elsewhere; and if horses laugh, gayety must have abounded in that corral.
Sometimes the pony took a turn alone; next he had slid in a flash among his
brothers, and the whole of them like a school of playful fish whipped round
the corral, kicking up the fine dust, and (I take it) roaring with laughter.
Through the window-glass of our Pullman the thud of their mischievous hoofs
reached us, and the strong, humorous curses of the cow-boys. Then for the
first time I noticed a man who sat on the high gate of the corral, looking on.
