(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.

Sophie's Choice    

On November 1, 2006, William Styron died suddenly of pneumonia. While we
mourn his loss and the fact that he will not see this book, we hope that our
casebook on Sophie’s Choice will provide readers with a useful tool to help
appreciate and reevaluate his novel.
Over a quarter-century has passed since the 1979 first edition of Sophie’s
Choice appeared. Since its publication, the novel has been re-imagined as an
Academy Award-winning movie in 1982 and later as an opera, premiering in
London in 2002. Few twentieth-century American works of fiction have
inspired both cinematic and operatic versions (two that come to mind are Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great
Gatsby). Despite the fact that Sophie’s Choice won the American Book Award
for fiction and served as an inspiration for a powerful film and opera, the novel
continues to provoke heated debate over its methods, characters, and themes—
indeed over its very existence.
William Styron was no stranger to controversy. His entire career was
marked by his uncanny ability to hit sensitive nerves. This tendency began in
1951 with the publication of Lie Down in Darkness, a dispassionate look at a
dysfunctional New South, decaying under the weight of alcoholism, cruelty,
selfishness, and false piety—a novel published when Styron was just twenty-six.
As a native Virginian himself, Styron did not make many Southern friends with
his first novel. Controversy continued in 1953 with the publication of The Long
March, an anti-war novella, unfashionable in the 1950s. In 1960 Styron
published his second full-length novel, Set This House on Fire, which takes
place in a small Italian village populated by self-indulgent, corrupt Americans
who bring vulgarity and violence to the Italian villagers.
