The most dangerous game pdf – written by Richard Connell in 1924.
Big-game hunter Sanger Rainsford and his friend, Whitney, are traveling to the Amazon rainforest for a jaguar hunt. After a discussion about how they are “the hunters” instead of “the hunted,” Whitney goes to bed. Later that evening Rainsford hears gunshots. He climbs onto the yacht’s rail and accidentally falls overboard, swimming to Ship-Trap Island, which is notorious for shipwrecks. On the island, he finds a palatial chateau inhabited by two Cossacks: the owner, General Zaroff, and his gigantic deaf-mute servant, Ivan.
What follows is a story of madness and thrill as the hunter becomes the hunted, but the prey becomes the predator.
