AI overview
A novel is a long work of fictional storytelling written in prose and published as a book, with a history stretching back about two thousand years to ancient Greek and Roman literature. It matters as a major literary form that has evolved through various traditions—from ancient romances to medieval chivalric tales to Italian Renaissance novellas—and continues to be a primary way people explore imaginative narratives and human experience.
