(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 Westing Game    

The sun sets in the west (just about everyone knows that), but
Sunset Towers faced east. Strange!
Sunset Towers faced east and had no towers. This glittery,
glassy apartment house stood alone on the Lake Michigan
shore five stories high. Five empty stories high.
Then one day (it happened to be the Fourth of July), a
most uncommon-looking delivery boy rode around town
slipping letters under the doors of the chosen tenants-to-be.
The letters were signed Barney Northrup.
The delivery boy was sixty-two years old, and there was
no such person as Barney Northrup.

Six letters were delivered, just six. Six appointments were
made, and one by one, family by family, talk, talk, talk,
Barney Northrup led the tours around and about Sunset
Towers.
“Take a look at all that glass. One-way glass,” Barney
Northrup said. “You can see out, nobody can see in.”
Looking up, the Wexlers (the first appointment of the day)
were blinded by the blast of morning sun that flashed off the
face of the building.
“See those chandeliers? Crystal!” Barney Northrup said,
slicking his black moustache and straightening his handpainted tie in the lobby’s mirrored wall. “How about this
carpeting? Three inches thick!”
“Gorgeous,” Mrs. Wexler replied, clutching her husband’s
arm as her high heels wobbled in the deep plush pile. She, too,
