This article analyzes the expression of national realities in Abdulla Qadiri’s novel Days of the Past and Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Both works reflect the social, cultural, and moral realities of their respective nations during significant historical periods. Through a comparative analysis, the study explores how national identity, social injustice, traditions, and everyday life are portrayed through characters, setting, and narrative techniques. The findings show that although the authors belong to different cultures and literary traditions, both use literature as a means to critique social problems and preserve national consciousness.
