Salu� par la critique depuis vingt ans mais encore m�connu du grand public, Mathieu Belezi livre avec Attaquer la terre et le soleil un roman magistral, qui incarne la folie et l'enfer de la colonisation de l'Alg�rie au 19e si�cle.

Attaquer la terre et le soleil narre le destin d'une poign�e de colons et de soldats pris dans l'enfer oubli� de la colonisation alg�rienne, au dix-neuvi�me si�cle. Et en un bref roman, c'est toute l'exp�rience d'un �crivain qui subitement se cristallise et bouleverse, une voix hant�e par Faulkner qui se donne.

Depuis plus de vingt ans, Mathieu Belezi construit une œuvre romanesque d'une coh�rence �tonnante, � la phrase cisel�e. La musicalit� qui frappe d�s les premi�res lignes d'Attaquer la terre et le soleil fait �cho � Le Petit Roi, son premier roman publi� en 1998 aux �ditions Ph�bus. Quant � son th�me, il renvoie �videmment � sa grande trilogie alg�rienne, publi�e successivement aux �ditions Albin Michel (C'�tait notre terre, 2008) et Flammarion (Les vieux Fous, 2011 ; Un faux pas dans la vie d'Emma Picard, 2015). Est-ce la constance de ce parcours qui explique la fulgurance de ce nouveau roman ? �crit en quelques mois, Attaquer la terre et le soleil dit en tout cas avec une beaut� tragique, � travers les voix d'une femme et d'un soldat, la folie, l'enfer, que fut cette colonisation.
