خيال (أدب): الفرق بين النسختين

'''الخيال''' هو أحد أنواع الأدب الذي يريد اختلاق إحداث غالبا ما توصف بأنها غريبة أو غير متصلة بالحياة الواقعية.<ref>{{cite book|page=31|last=Culler|first=Jonathan|year=2000|publisher=Oxford University Press|title=Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction|quote=Non-fictional discourse is usually embedded in a context that tells you how to take it: an instruction manual, a newspaper report, a letter from a charity. The context of fiction, though, explicitly leaves open the question of what the fiction is really about. Reference to the world is not so much a property of literary [i.e. fictional] works as a function they are given by interpretation.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal | ssrn = 981296 | title = The Role of Narrative Fiction and Semi-Fiction in Organizational Studies | first1 = G. | last1 = Whiteman | first2 = N. | last2 = Phillips | journal = ERIM Report Series Research in Management | date = 13 December 2006 | issn = 1566-5283 | accessdate = 23 October 2009}}</ref><ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fiction fiction]."
