Set during a weekend party at the Newmarch estate, the narrative features a first-person narrator who observes unsettling transformations among the guests. As he notes the decline of a graceful woman and the newfound charm of a previously dull man, he becomes obsessed with the idea of life force exchanges among them. This exploration of human dynamics and the complexities of social interactions showcases Henry James at his artistic peak, blending psychological insight with the peculiarities of character development.

Joseph Conrad, der "Tragiker des Westens", thematisiert in seinen Werken Einsamkeit, Verrat und Treue. Seine Erzählungen, darunter die novellenartigen Stücke in 'Im Wechsel der Gezeiten', spielen in vertrauten fernöstlichen Regionen und London. Sie zeigen vielfältige Charaktere und dramatische Momente menschlichen Verhaltens.
