Published on the occasion of "La Cime du rêve, les surréalistes et Victor Hugo", this work is the first to question the surrealist posterity of Victor Hugo; an unsuspected posterity, on the poetic as well as the plastic level. The sensitive and philosophical thread that links romanticism to surrealism also passes through Victor Hugo, whose visionary poetry and incredible graphic inventions join the marvelous experiments of the surrealists and the interest of painters and poets for everything that emanates from dreams. This is what this book explores step by step, through several essays and a free literary and visual thematic journey, which takes the reader from castles to forests, from night to the ocean, from stains to footprints, from passionate love to political commitment, to the flamboyant deployment of an unexpected bestiary.
