  • "Chance was Conrad's most popular book. It tells the story of Flora de Barral, the abandoned daughter of a bankrupt tycoon, who struggles to achieve dignity and happiness. The revised edition features a new text (the English first edition), revised notes, and a new bibliography and chronology."

  • "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."

  • "An atypical masterpiece penned by Joseph Conrad where he portrays a female in the leading role. The story reveals the transition of Flora de Barral from a young immature and vulnerable woman to someone with self-confidence and sense of worth. By exploring this development, Conrad proves his capability of penetrating into the psyche of his characters. --books.google.com."@en
  • "Chance tells the story of Flora de Barral, a vulnerable and abandoned young girl who is "like a beggar, without a right to anything but compassion." After her bankrupt father is imprisoned, she learns the harsh fact that a woman in her position "has no resources but in herself." Her only means of action is to be what she is. Flora's long struggle to achieve some dignity and happiness makes her Conrad's most moving female character. Reflecting the contemporary interest in the New Woman and the Suffragette question, Chance also marks the final appearance of Marlow, Conrad's most effective and wise narrator.-Amazon.com."@en
