This article examines the translation strategies applied to Jack London's short story “A Piece of Meat” focusing on direct and indirect translations into Uzbek. Using Peter Newmark’s classification of translation strategies, the study compares the Russian-mediated version by M. Hamidov and the direct translation by Sh. Obloqulova. The analysis reveals differences in semantic, stylistic, and cultural equivalence, highlighting how translation choices affect the preservation of the original's dramatic intensity and imagery.
