"The Most Dangerous Game" is an O. Henry Prize winning short story published in 1924 by Richard Connell. The story takes place on an island owned by the mysterious Russian expatriate General Zaroff. When a famous big-game hunter, Sanger Rainsford, falls from his ship and finds himself on Zaroff's island, he learns that Zaroff intends to hunt him for sport. This thrilling adventure story asks pointed questions about the meaning of the word "civilized" and about what--if anything--separates humans from other animals.
