About This Book
"The Most Dangerous Game," also published as "The Hounds of Zaroff," is a short story by American author, screenwriter, and journalist Richard Connell, first published in Collier's on January 19, 1924, with illustrations by Wilmot Emerton Heitland. The story features a big-game hunter from New York City who falls from a ship and swims to a mysterious island in the Caribbean, where he is hunted by a Russian aristocrat. The story is inspired by the big-game hunting safaris in Africa and South America that were particularly fashionable among wealthy Americans in the 1920s.
