"Chance: A Tale in Two Parts" by Joseph Conrad is a novel written in the late 19th century.

The narrative delves into themes of opportunity, responsibility, and the intersection of fate and human desires, showcasing Powell’s initial experiences and interactions with characters who shape his outlook on life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Powell during a dinner at a riverside inn, where he meets a fellow yachtsman who shares reminiscences of life's challenges and the importance of responsibility at sea. This man, who also bears the name Powell, incites contemplation in the young sailor about his aspirations and the realities of pursuing a maritime career. Following a series of chance encounters and illuminating conversations, Powell finds himself looking to secure a position aboard a ship named the "Ferndale", undergoing both the anticipation and anxiety of stepping into the unknown world of seafaring life, thus capturing the essence of the human condition in the face of life's arbitrary turns.
