The Most Dangerous Game - Richard Connell's Original Masterpiece
ByPublisher Description
First published in 1924, ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ is a short story by Richard Connell, an American author, and journalist, who was one of the most famous American short story writers of his time, with his stories published in The Saturday Evening Post and Collier's magazines.
The narrative features a big-game hunter from New York City who falls off a yacht and swims to a remote island in the Caribbean, where he is pursued by a Russian aristocrat. The story is encouraged by the big-game hunting safaris in Africa and South America that were incredibly chic among affluent Americans in the 1920s. The story has been adapted multiple times, but most notably for the 1932 RKO Pictures film The Most Dangerous Game, and for a 1943 episode of the CBS Radio series Suspense.
