"Chance: A Tale in Two Parts" by Joseph Conrad is a novel published in 1913. Narrated by Conrad's recurring character Charles Marlow and others, the story follows Flora de Barral, daughter of a convicted swindler. Flora's life shifts from sheltered prosperity to dependence on resentful benefactors before she escapes through marriage to Captain Anthony. When her father is released from prison and joins them aboard ship, the narrative moves toward its climax.
Multiple narrators piece together Flora's story, exploring themes of feminism, financial speculation, and the tension between human will and forces beyond control. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
