the novel

It is the representation of a group of what is sufficient for people of a real or imagined event that does not depart from the limits of truth or possibility. It deals with one or more complete topics that overflow with complete life, so that if the reader finishes it, he will have finished. He learned about the lives of people in different roles, influenced by his feelings, mind and imagination, filling his sight and hearing. And the subject of people's lives including. It depicts the funny and the crying of the incidents, and describes the inert and repulsive of human beings. Its style is noble, bright, natural, not spoiled by industry and affectation, nor dampened by squalor and rickety, simple and not complicated by contemplation and in-depthness. Its tone is commensurate with the speaker's upbringing, upbringing, nature and attitude. In it, the writer forgets himself and annihilates himself in his personalities, writing sentimental syllables and musical words as if they were pieces of life. There is no doubt that such artistic works do not remain immortal unless they - in addition to their inclusion of elements common to all intellectuals - satisfy some of man's needs and ambitions, so that time does not limit them and kills their luck. Eternity, nor place, so it is confined to a field that does not transcend. It is for all humanity because it touches the most perfect things in the universe: love, death and nature, and it emanates from the depths of the writer’s soul affected by sadness or pleasure. His art is above the personal and topical, and therefore it pervades all people and overwhelms them with intuition and feeling, so it resonates in every conscience and time.

the story

It is a display of an idea that passed through the mind of the writer, and a recording of an image that affected his imagination, and he expressed an emotion that stirred in his chest, so he wanted to bring it to the minds of the readers, trying to have its impact on their souls like its impact on himself. It is less than the novel and greater than the story, as the time is prolonged and the incidents extend and develop into something of a clash. It is more of the art of stories inherent to the press due to the appropriate amount of it for each newspaper, as its average limit is three thousand or four thousand words, and it is short to one thousand and long to seven thousand. As for the novel, the newspapers do not present it except in succession by publishing part after part of it, and it is read in full in books or watched on the white screen after some modification that makes it suitable for representation. Whatever it is, we ask the writer of the story to leave an impact on our souls with his story, with which we feel the realism of life in a sense that has no ambiguity or confusion. And to create from the chaos of accidents a consistent system so that the context and sequence fulfill the intended purpose, and that is what we call the story plot, which if the story is devoid of it, then it is devoid of the spirit of art.
