Neglected by her father and rejected by her governess, Flora de Barral realizes that a young woman in her position has no resources other than her own wits. In despair, Flora takes refuge at sea on Captain Anthony’s ship, where tragedy and her transformation begin. Published in 1913, Chance was an immediate success.
Circa l’autore
Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), born the son of a noble Polish family as Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, rechristened himself with his pen name. He became one of the greatest prose stylists and novelists in the English language. A precursor to modernist literature, he mined his experiences in the French and British navies to create tragic tales that simultaneously delve into worldwide issues and the individual soul.
