Richard Connell 
The Most Dangerous Game 
Richard Connell’s Original Masterpiece

Widely anthologized and the author’s bestknown work, ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ features as its main character a big-game hunter from New York, who falls off a yacht and swims to an isolated island in the Caribbean, and is hunted by a Russian aristocrat. The story is an inversion of the big-game hunting safaris in Africa and South America that were fashionable among wealthy Americans in the 1920s.
