«L'Art d'être grand-père» is Victor Hugo's poetry collection, published by Flammarion in paperback (256 pages, in French).
The poetry collection takes the poet's relationship with his grandchildren as its starting point to address childhood, old age and memory. It is not a guide dispensing sentimental advice: Hugo argues that poetry for children should also be poetry for adults, with its chiaroscuro, its intensity and its erudition. The work combines family scenes, songs and proverbs with a serious and moving gaze.
The work was originally published in 1877; this 2018 edition includes the introduction by Bernard Leuilliot.
For lovers of 19th-century poetry and French literature who want to discover the most intimate side of Victor Hugo.
