Chance is a novel by Joseph Conrad, narrated largely by Marlow. It follows Flora de Barral, the daughter of a disgraced financier, as she seeks security and love among seafaring men and English society. It is worth listening to for Conrad's psychological insight, maritime atmosphere, and its questions about chance and human vulnerability.
