Richard Connell's classic short story, which has inspired film, television, and radio adaptations and tributes for generations, about a braggadocios big game hunter, on whom the tables are turned when he is stranded on a island and made into the quarry of another man's hunt."The Most Dangerous Game" features as its main character a big-game hunter from New York, who becomes shipwrecked on 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.
