5.0 out of 5 stars One of Conrad's finest novels, poignant and powerful., 23 May 2002
By Andrew Fear "epicure wanderer" (Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Chance: A Tale in Two Parts (Twentieth Century Classics) (Paperback)
When it first came out this novel was a huge success. It combines sadness with adventure in Conrad's inimitable narrative style. Marlow, who also appears in the classic 'Heart of Darkness' is the narrator telling the story like a seafaring tale over drinks and cigars. He shows how Chance can unfairly rule peoples lives and drive them to extremes. The hero is Captain Anthony and the heroine the tragic Flora de Baral. Although a fascinating study of human nature and its whims and excesses feminists will tear their hair when they read the dated views on women of a seafaring man from the beginning of the twentieth century. Although essentially a sad story the book ends on a happy note when the narrator catches up with both Mr. Powell and the heroine. It is after all a Conrad classic.
