Martin Hyde, the Duke's Messenger is a novel by John Masefield. Masefield was an English poet and writer. A young man arrives from a rural area to stay with his uncle in London. Plunged into a chaotic world, he finds himself going on a maritime adventure that will define him as a man.
Ageing and Globalisation
Two of the most unprecedented transformations in the history of human social and economic life are currently underway. One, globalization, is the subject of extensive media coverage and scholarly analysis. Relatively ignored, however, is the other one: the overall aging of the world's population. This book offers the first in-depth look at the two forces in tandem, showing the many ways in which they interact and affect each other--and helping us for the first time to grasp the implications of both. This comprehensive introduction to globalization for gerontologists is part of the Ageing in a Global Context series, published in association with the British Society of Gerontology.
Mary Reilly
From the acclaimed author of the bestselling Italian Fever and award-winning Property, comes a fresh twist on the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, a novel told from the perspective of Dr. Jekyll's dutiful and intelligent housemaid. "Part psychological novel, part social history, part eerie horror tale ... dark and moving and powerful." —The Washington Post Faithfully weaving in details from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, Martin introduces an original and captivating character: Mary is a survivor—scarred but still strong—familiar with evil, yet brimming with devotion and love. As a bond grows between Mary and her tortured employer, she is sent on errands to unsavory districts of London and entrusted with secrets she would rather not know. Unable to confront her hideous suspicions about Dr. Jekyll, Mary ultimately proves the lengths to which she'll go to protect him. Through her astute reflections, we hear the rest of the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, and this familiar tale is made more terrifying than we remember it, more complex than we imagined possible.

Martin Hyde
Nous sommes dans l'Angleterre de la fin du XVIIe siècle, qui relève à peine d'une période troublée, pour ne pas dire plus, et où l'agitation politique reste considérée comme une sorte de sport national. Le roi Jacques II règne avec incertitude, tandis que le duc de Monmouth, son rival de toujours, soutenu par le parti protestant, met sur pied une conspiration armée afin de lui ravir le trône. Dans la bonne ville de Londres cependant., Martin Hyde, 13 ans, orphelin de père et de mère, rêve de s'embarquer... et ronge son frein. Martin est de ces gamins poussés en graine (comme les aime l'imaginaire anglais) qui ont l'art d'aller fourrer leur nez dans des affaires qui ne sont pas de leur âge... et dont l'innocence (toute relative au demeurant) se fait un malin plaisir de déranger les plans ourdis par les adultes. On sait l'amour que les lecteurs doués de quelque imagination, au premier rang desquels Michel Tournier, ont toujours professé à l'endroit du sublime Moonfleet, ce roman profondément " troublé " par l'enfance (à tous les sens de la formule). On les envie d'avoir encore à découvrir Martin Hyde !
