Novel.

Novel is a prose type of literature. Essays and novels have similar and different features. Essays describe real story about people. Often they use facts from their biographies. Novels describe life of fictional people during several years.

This type of literature appeared in ancient times. Long stories were found in Ancient Greece and Rome. So, novel has long and interesting history.

Usually novels are written in a few years. Many chapters are overwritten several times. Sometimes such stories are made into films. Characters of novels become popular in many countries. Actors who played their roles also become popular.

For example, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Her only novel, written in two volumes.

P.S. Novel, one of the longest types of literature. Today I told about it. Next time will be another.
