What is a "novel"?

A novel is a long work of fiction that tells a story through a narrative. It typically features a complex plot, developed characters, and a structured storyline. Novels are usually divided into chapters and can explore various themes and genres, such as romance, science fiction, mystery, or historical fiction. They offer an extended form of storytelling compared to shorter works like novellas or short stories, allowing for more depth and detail in the narrative and character development.

What is a "short story"?

A short story is a brief work of fiction that typically focuses on a single incident, character, or theme. It is shorter than a novel, often ranging from a few hundred to about twenty thousand words. Short stories aim to deliver a complete narrative with a clear beginning, middle, and end, usually concentrating on a specific moment or aspect of a character's life. They can explore various genres and styles, and are designed to provide a concise yet impactful reading experience.

novela

a work of fiction with an intermediate length, which could be considered a short novel

What is a "novella"?

A novella is a work of fiction that is longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. Typically ranging from about 20,000 to 50,000 words, a novella provides enough space to develop more complex plots and characters than a short story, but with a more focused narrative than a full-length novel. It often explores a single theme or event in depth, offering a complete and satisfying story within a more compact format. Novellas are valued for their ability to deliver a rich narrative experience without the extensive length of a novel.

grafický román

a book that combines illustrations and storytelling to convey a narrative, often in a sequential art format

What is a "graphic novel"?

A graphic novel is a book-length work of fiction or non-fiction that uses the format and techniques of a comic book, combining illustrations and text to tell a story. Unlike traditional comic books, which are usually released in individual parts, a graphic novel presents a complete narrative within a single volume or a series of volumes. The storytelling in graphic novels often explores complex themes and employs a range of artistic styles, making them a versatile medium for both literary and visual storytelling.
