Chance: A Tale In Two Parts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354848209)

A striking study in luck, fate, and the limits of human will. Chance: A Tale In Two Parts offers a riveting voyage into psyche and circumstance, where sea horizons mirror inner horizons and every turn of the deck reshapes a life. This restored edition brings Conrad's late nineteenth-century seafaring narrative to contemporary readers as more than a reprint. The form blends a seafaring adventure fiction with a psychological mystery novella, propelled by questions of fate versus luck and the moral ambiguity that shadows decisions at sea and ashore. The result is a compact, richly atmospheric work that rewards attentive reading and returns to the reader a deeper sense of purpose with each turning page. Widely regarded for its literary and historical significance, the tale sits comfortably among british imperial settings and sea fiction classics, inviting both casual readers and classic-literature collectors. It serves as an engaging entry for an academic study guide or classic literature classroom, while standing on its own as a culturally resonant object of great beauty and care. The edition is not merely a reprint but a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's and future generations to discover, debate, and treasure. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, Chance embodies the enduring allure of late nineteenth century British maritime novels, where gambling and chance meet human conscience in the vast, indifferent ocean.
