Description

Joseph Conrad's novel Chance was published in 1913.

It is narrated by Charles Marlow and other narrators, and it is unique among the author's works in that it places a strong emphasis on a female character: Flora de Barral.

The narrators try to interpret various events in Miss de Barral's life, the daughter of a convicted swindler named Smith de Barral.

When her father is released from prison, he joins them on the ship, and the novel reaches its conclusion.

The plot alternates between human will and purposeful activity and an opposing "apathetic" force that dismisses the significance of human action.
