  • La Fin d'Illa est un roman court de l'écrivain français José Moselli paru en 1925. Le roman débute par la découverte d'un manuscrit par des marins sur un atoll du Pacifique. Cet écrit révèle l'existence d'une civilisation avancée aujourd'hui disparue. Le narrateur, le chef militaire Xié, raconte les derniers jours de la cité d'Illa alors que celle-ci, dirigée par le dictateur Rair, entre en guerre contre la cité voisine de Nour. Affilié à la littérature merveilleuse-scientifique et utopique, ce roman réinterprète le mythe de l'Atlantide. José Moselli aborde les thèmes des avancées technologiques et de leurs conséquences sociales. En effet, la mise en place d'une dictature et la décadence morale qui accompagne les progrès scientifiques, conduisent progressivement à l'autodestruction de la brillante civilisation d'Illa. Le récit, publié initialement en feuilleton dans la revue Sciences et Voyages entre le 29 janvier et le 9 juillet 1925, est illustré par le dessinateur André Galland. Le roman fait l'objet de plusieurs rééditions en France pendant la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, mais n'est traduit en langue anglaise qu'au XXIe siècle. (fr)

The narrator, the military chief Xié, recounts the last days of the city of Illa when the city, led by its dictator Rair, went to war against the neighboring city Nour. Classified as scientific marvel and utopian literature, this novel reinterprets the myth of Atlantis. José Moselli addresses themes of technological advance and its social consequences. In effect, the installation of a dictatorship and the moral decadence that accompanies scientific progress lead progressively to the self-destruction of the brilliant civilization of Illa. The story, published initially in serial form in the magazine Sciences and Voyages between January 29 and July 9, 1925, is illustrated by the artist André Galland. The novel was republished numerous times in France during the second half of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until the 21st century. (en)
