Reseña del libro "Chance (en Inglés)"

Chance is a novel by Joseph Conrad, published in 1913 following serial publication the previous year. Although the novel was not one upon which Conrad's later critical reputation was to depend, it was his greatest commercial success upon initial publication. Chance is narrated by Conrad's regular narrator, Charles Marlow, but is characterised by a complex, nested narrative in which different narrators take up the story at different points. The novel is also unusual among its author's works for its focus on a female character: the heroine, Flora de Barral. The narrators describe and attempt to interpret various episodes in the life of Miss de Barral, the daughter of a convicted swindler named Smith de Barral (though this character is famous in the world of the novel as a criminal, he may, at least at first, have been merely an incompetent banker). Miss de Barral leads a sheltered life while her father is prosperous, then must rely on the generosity of others, who resent her or have agendas for her, before she escapes by marrying one Captain Anthony. Chance opened a path to commercial success for Conrad after years of slow progress and obscurity. This success could be measured by the record sale of the book in 1914, which outsold all his previous publications and shot him to fame.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) fue un escritor polaco-británico conocido por sus relatos sobre el mar, el colonialismo y las luchas psicológicas de los individuos frente a la adversidad. Su obra se caracteriza por la exploración de temas como la moralidad, la desesperación y el absurdo de la existencia humana. Nacido en Ucrania, Conrad pasó gran parte de su vida como marinero antes de dedicarse a la escritura, lo que influyó notablemente en su estilo narrativo.

Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran El corazón de las tinieblas (1899), Lord Jim (1900) y Nostromo (1904). Si bien no recibió premios importantes durante su vida, su influencia en la literatura del siglo XX es indiscutible, siendo considerado un precursor de la narrativa moderna.
