Abstract

This article examines two different Uzbek translations of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. The study comparatively examines the stylistic approaches employed in the translations, the degree of equivalence, features reflecting the translators’ individual styles, and the extent to which semantic meaning is preserved. Particular attention is paid to the differences between literal and free translation, as well as to their respective advantages and limitations.
