Publisher's Synopsis
""Chance: A Tale in Two Parts"" is a novel written by Joseph Conrad. The book tells the story of a young woman named Flora de Barral, who is the daughter of a disgraced financier. Flora's father's scandal forces her to live a life of poverty and obscurity, until she meets Captain Anthony, a man who believes in her and helps her regain her confidence. The story is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Flora's childhood and upbringing, and the second part following her as she navigates adulthood and relationships. The novel explores themes of identity, love, and the role of chance in shaping one's life. Conrad's writing is known for its psychological depth and intricate storytelling, and ""Chance"" is no exception. The book is a classic example of Conrad's literary style and is considered one of his most important works.And the best of it was that the danger was all over already. There was no danger any more. The supposed nephew's appearance had a purpose. He had come, full, full to trembling--with the bigness of his news. There must have been rumours already as to the shaky position of the de Barral's concerns; but only amongst those in the very inmost know. No rumour or echo of rumour had reached the profane in the West-End.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
