The origin of novels can be traced back to ancient Greek and Roman narrative literature, such as Homer's Iliad and Odessey. The development of novels in China could be traced back to works such as Song of Everlasting Sorrow from the Tang Dynasty and Water Margins from the Song Dynasty. The development of modern novels began in the 18th century in Europe during the Enlightenment, such as Daniel Defoe's " Crusoe " and Jane Austen's " Pride and Predict." The novel had become one of the most colorful and deeply rooted literary forms in the history of human civilization.
