This academic article is dedicated to a comparative-typological analysis of the works of two authors from different national literatures and literary movements: Jack London and Utkir Hoshimov. The research examines Jack London's work within the context of American Naturalism and Utkir Hoshimov's prose within the context of Uzbek psychological realism. The primary objective of the article is to reveal the fundamental differences and typological commonalities in the artistic interpretation of the human condition, the nature of conflict, the protagonist type, and the role of the environment within these two distinct literary-philosophical systems.London's work is predominantly external (man vs. nature/society) and deterministic (influenced by heredity and environment), whereas in Hoshimov's prose, the conflict is internal (man vs. his conscience) and based on moral choice.
