À 75 ans, Victor Hugo a perdu sa femme, sa fille Léopoldine et ses deux fils. Il se retrouve seul avec ses deux petits-enfants, Jeanne et Georges. Alors que la vieillesse lui apparaît, elle s'entoure de la plus petite jeunesse, et l'art d'être grand-père s'impose à l'auteur : c'est obéir aux plus petits. Sa démarche littéraire se fond avec son dernier recueil poétique, rendre justice aux plus démunis, raconter leurs misères et leur héritage, accepter de n'être qu'un passeur et qu'il faut partir.

Pour la première fois, l'édition phonographique propose une histoire vivante des expéditions polaires françaises. Dès le début des années 50, des enseignants ont voulu utiliser le sonore comme moyen pédagogique, en faisant réaliser les entretiens par les enfants eux-mêmes dont le besoin de comprendre en fait souvent de meilleurs interviewers, car ils sont capables d'aller du particulier au fondamental. Rétrospectivement, ce travail effectué sous la direction de Pierre Guérin (dans la lignée de Célestin Freinet) devient pour de nombreux sujets un travail historiographique et sociologique extrêmement passionnant.
