The Most Dangerous Game 0110 Book 110 edition by Connell Richard Neeraj dwivedi Literature Fiction eBooks
Richard Connell’s The Most Dangerous Game is one of the most enduring and timeless short stories ever penned. Its reputation is well deserved, as Connell grabs the reader instantly and spins a tale that while exciting, has broader implications than a simple adventure tale. It is probably most famous today due to the film starring Joel McCrea and Fay Wray, which was shot around the same time as King Kong and used many of the same sets. The short story, while not having the feminine character or her brother, is equally atmospheric, and terribly exciting.Big Game hunter and writer Sanger Rainsford and his friend Whitney are aboard a yacht somewhere in the Caribbean, on their way to Brazil to hunt jaguars. There is talk of a nervous crew as they pass Ship-Trap Island, a mysterious place the sailors dread. The talk of Rainsford and Whitney turns to the hunt, and it is this conversation between the two men about what the jaguar does or does not feel while being stalked that lies at the heart of this tale.
Shots are fired, and in an effort to discover what is happening on deck, Sanger falls overboard, making a harrowing escape to said island. There he discovers not madness, but the ultimate extension of himself. The “hunt” is tremendously exciting, the brevity of the story creating great movement in the narrative. Sanger, General Zaroff, and his towering right-hand man, Ivan, are memorable in this thrilling tale of adventure which also ponders larger questions. Connell was perhaps most successful at the short story, a slew of them published in The Saturday Evening Post and Collier’s. But he was also a journalist and screenwriter. Though Robert Riskin wrote the screenplay for Frank Capra’s wonderful film, Meet John Doe, the original film treatment was written by Connell and Robert Presell, who received an Academy Award nomination for it.
Despite its age, this tale feels timeless, and is near perfect. On the technical side, there are a few typos in the transfer to Kindle, but rare, so not too distracting. A thrilling story everyone who loves the short story form should read. Marvelous.

The Most Dangerous Game 0110 Book 110 edition by Connell Richard Neeraj dwivedi Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I had heard of this story a long time ago, saw it on here and decided to give it a try. To say the least, it was no disappointment.
Hunting humans for sport is something that has been done but rarely. This story puts it into perspective as a hunter named Rainsford gets lost at sea, ending up on an island that is ruled by General Zaroff, a Cossack. The general feeds Rainsford well and lets him rest up...before hunting him of course.
This story is my favorite kind- short, simple and to the point with plenty of thought-provoking dialogue and intense action. Rainsford also gives one a few valuable pointers in case you were to find yourself in a similar situation.
For the price this is a steal for such a classic story. I recommend to anybody and everybody!
WOW I’m thrilled to give this engaging, suspenseful short story a 5 star rating. Mr Connel manages to draw the reader into his world by the fourth paragraph and doesn’t release his hold until the jaw dropping final sentence. What is tough is writing a review without giving away too much plot. Mr Connel’s descriptive language puts the reader into the boat, the house, the jungle and the hunt with Rainsford. Set in early 20th century, other than referring to the Russian troubles and the Great War, the story could be set at nearly any modern time without change. The description makes this seem like a short story version of Lord of the Flies, but other than being on islands, the two bear little similarities. Great read - even for teens/tweens.
I just wanted to re-read a story that is on my high school son's reading class so we could talk about school. I've never had any issues with downloaded books-but this one was illustrated-but the pics made no sense and it had really weird spacing and not like other books or short stories I have downloaded. My recommendation-if you want to read this short story look for same stories with different publisher. Format made it very hard to read and at times from spacing I felt I didn't have the complete story. Definitely would not recommend for a student that this version would not be a good read for a student to write a book report on. And the pictures where very very weird and totally irrelavent. Spacing and pics made for super bad flow for reading
Like many people of a certain age, I read most of these eight stories in school. I never forgot some of them and recently had an urge to reread them. This slim volume brought back the same thrills I experienced decades ago. The stories are each well-crafted classics, worth reading and rereading. If you (or your kids) have never encountered them, give them a try. Arguably, the most famous of the stories is "The Most Dangerous Game", which has been filmed several times under different names, but "Leiningen Versus the Ants" and "Sredni Vashtar" are just as good if not better. These are adventure stories without explicit sex, crude language or over-the-top special effects. My only complaint about this edition is that the publishers did not include any information on the original publication dates, which would have helped put social context into the reading experience.
I don't know if I ever had to read this in school but I'm glad I thought to now. The kindle edition had a few mistakes or typos but nothing worth even mentioning. I think I only counted two that stood out. The story is good, I read it in one sitting, which doesn't say anything about how fast I read, it's just short and keeps your attention. Because it's a short you really fill in a lot of the gaps yourself but I think that was a good part for me. Sometimes the more detail the less I imagine. I would recommend if you haven't read this or have and it's been a while to revisit it, and it's also just a good quick break from other books. Fun read.
