ABOUT THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME

Winning the prestigious O. Henry Award for short fiction upon its publication in 1924, Richard Connell’s classic tale, “The Most Dangerous Game” tells the story of a big-game hunter, Sanger Rainsford, who falls overboard while traveling through the Caribbean. Rainsford swims to what he believes is a deserted island. Soon, he meets Cossack aristocrat General Zaroff who, bored of hunting animals, has begun to hunt humans. “The Most Dangerous Game” remains a popular story, and has been consistently adapted for various media, since its release.

This work is presented as it was originally created and may contain outdated and offensive cultural depictions.

ABOUT RICHARD CONNELL

Richard Edward Connell Jr. (1893–1949) was an American fiction writer, journalist, and screenwriter from Poughkeepsie, New York. The son of U.S. Representative, Richard Connell Sr., he began his writing career as a jack-of-all-trades at the Poughkeepsie Journal at age 15, working as a copy writer, editor, editorial writer, among other jobs. His journalism career led him into fiction writing, and during his fiction-writing career he regularly published stories in the popular magazines of the day, including the Saturday Evening Post, and Collier’s.

Although remembered today mainly for “The Most Dangerous Game”, Connell also found success as a screenwriter, earning an Oscar nomination for 1941’s Meet John Doe (which was directed by Frank Capra and adapted from his own work).
