Depuis plusieurs siècles, de grands écrivains lui ont donné ses lettres de noblesse. "Impressions de voyage" se veut une collection de redécouverte de ces textes, devenus introuvables. Sââ¬â¢y ajoutent le plus souvent une préface dââ¬â¢un spécialiste de la région, du pays, de la ville ou de lââ¬â¢auteur, et une postface (ou guide pratique) où lââ¬â¢on refait, étape par étape, lââ¬â¢itinéraire de l'illustre voyageur. Victor Hugo ALPES - DE LA HAUTE-SAVOIE Ã⬠LA SUISSE - Au début du XIXe siècle, les Alpes et la Suisse, auréolées de lââ¬â¢imaginaire romantique, apparaissent comme des lieux fantastiques. Victor Hugo nââ¬â¢Ã©chappe pas àcette fièvre du voyage romantique. Dès 1825, il y effectue un premier séjour, avec Cha- monix et la vision grandiose du Mont-Blanc comme ultime étape. Plus tard il poussera jusquââ¬â¢Ã la Suisse: Lucerne, le Rigi, les Lacs, Berne, Zürich, Genève... Dans la grande tradition des promeneurs solitaires, Victor Hugo laisse, avec ces deux textes, un témoignage étonnamment vivant, où rêve et vertige se mêlent, exaltant lââ¬â¢imagination du voyageur et lui inspirant des descriptions poétiques proches des plus beaux morceaux en vers. Car Hugo, traversant les Alpes, sait trouver un accord profond entre la majesté des montagnes et des paysages et lââ¬â¢Ã©motion née du sublime et de la fascination quââ¬â¢il éprouve.
