| Publisher Description: Short and sweet, Richard Connell's 'The Most Dangerous Game' reads as well as it did when it was written nearly a century years ago. A model in lean prose that sticks to the story without unnecessary embellishment, Connell's masterpiece manages to expose weighty issues of war, ecology, and human nature that remain relevant today. There is no preaching here - simply a well-told tale. This little gem set the foundation for decades of authors and screenwriters who've picked up on the basic man-hunter theme. At half the price of a movie, "The Most Dangerous Game" is worth a detour back to one of the key building blocks of modern pop fiction. |
