B. J. Harrison Reads The Most Dangerous Game

Sanger Rainsford and Whitney are two friends, who are on their way for a jaguar hunt in the Amazonian rainforest. The two men discuss how the world consists of predators and prey, and that they are from the first type. While debating, the two men hear gunshots. Rainsford climbs onto the yacht’s rail and accidentally falls overboard. Thankfully, he manages to save himself and swims to an island called Ship-Trap, which is famous for its countless shipwrecks. There he meets General Zaroff and his gigantic servant, Ivan. What will Whitney do to rescue his friend after he falls overboard? Will he try to save him? What will Rainsford experience on the island? Who are General Zaroff and Ivan, and how will they welcome Rainsford? And what is "the most dangerous game"? Find all the answers in Richard Connell’s short story "The Most Dangerous Game" from 1924.
