Detailed explanation-1: -Something timeless is a classic of some sort that is unchanged by time. It’s just as good or true now as when it was created.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a period of time passes in a story, it can be shown using an asterisk (or two or three) between paragraphs, or using an extra space between paragraphs. I’m working on one just now where only a fortnight has passed.
Detailed explanation-3: -To be timeless, a novel must not just contain an interesting story. It also has to be a worthy story. Consider the novels of Herman Wouk, an author whom most discerning critics dismiss as an inferior stylist, a simplistic moralizer and (worst of all) philosophically conservative.
Detailed explanation-4: -For a work to be considered “universal” it will have to become “timeless.” Meaning that the work must be able to relate to its reader no matter the span of time between when the reader reads it and the time it was written.
