The Most Dangerous Game, also published as The Hounds of Zaroff, is a story by Richard Connell, first published in Collier's on January 19, 1924.
The story features a big-game hunter from New York City who falls off a yacht and swims to what seems to be an abandoned and isolated island in the Caribbean, where he is hunted by a Russian aristocrat.
The story is inspired by the big-game hunting safaris in Africa and South America that were particularly fashionable among wealthy Americans .
