Abstract
This article presents a comparative typological analysis of the concept of existential loneliness in Ernest Hemingway's stories "The Old Man and the Sea" and Khurshid Dostmuhammad's "The Wise Sisyphus". The purpose of the study is to shed light on two different models of a person's attitude to loneliness in an absurd situation: "Pantheistic loneliness" in Western literature (Santiago - harmony with nature) and "Social alienation" (Sisyphus - confinement to one's own "I") in modern Uzbek literature. The results of the analysis show that while loneliness for Hemingway's hero is a source of strength and a means of unity with the world, loneliness in the Uzbek writer's interpretation is the separation from society and the tragic isolation of a person with high intelligence in his inner world.
