Abstract	Victor Hugo's humanistic and avant-garde ideas are more burning than ever. Raising sneers and jokes, this sublime poet foresaw the establishment of the "Kingdom of God on earth" in his time. For this to happen, he implored the heavens so that a "voice more than human speaks to us". What would not have caused him surprise would have been to learn that this "voice" spoke during his lifetime! In Persia, through the Bahá'í revelation, a vizier's son, born in Teheran in 1817, proclaimed himself the Promised One of all the religions of the past and the promoter of that Kingdom, under the title of Bahá'u'lláh ( the Glory of God). This is what Hugo's contemporaries called the Bábí revolution, a revolution that the French were incidentally the first to make known to the world. This divine revelation and the work of Hugo show remarkable similarities. Victor Hugo, brilliant French spokesman of a message that surpasses it. Baha'i writings, parts of which are now translated into some eight hundred languages, would seem to be an indispensable key to clearly understand not only the mystical side of Hugo's work and his formidable vision of the future, but also the horrors of our contemporary world and how to answer our current anguished questioning.
