(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 Man In the Iron Mask

WHILE EVERY ONE AT court was busy with his own affairs, a man mysteriously took up his post behind the
Place de Greve, in the house which we once saw besieged by d'Artagnan on the occasion of a riot. The principal
entrance of this house was in the Place Baudoyer. The house was tolerably large, surrounded by gardens, enclosed
in the Rue St. Jean by the shops of tool−makers, which protected it from prying looks; and was walled in by a
triple rampart of stone, noise, and verdure, like an embalmed mummy in its triple coffin.
The man to whom we have just alluded walked along with a firm step, although he was no longer in his early
prime. His dark cloak and long sword outlined beneath the cloak plainly revealed a man seeking adventures; and
judging from his curling mustaches, his fine and smooth skin, as seen under his sombrero, the gallantry of his
adventures was unquestionable. In fact, hardly had the cavalier entered the house, when the clock of St. Gervais
struck eight; and ten minutes afterwards a lady, followed by an armed servant, approached and knocked at the
same door, which an old woman immediately opened for her.
