In the article, the issues of literary influence, creative style and skill are covered by the analysis of the works of world writers Dostoyevsky, Camus and, mainly, Franz Kafka and Nazar Eshonqul. In the works of the above-mentioned famous writers, special emphasis is placed on how the relationship between man and existence, individual and society is described. The characters of the novel, Raskolnikov, Meursault, Joseph K., and N., are compared and analyzed in terms of their similarities, commonalities, and differences. The main idea of existentialism and absurd literature, which ensures the originality of the art of novels - that a person is the creator of his own life, is described on the example of various views and images. The motif of metamorphosis in Kafka's "Metamorphosis" and N. Eshonqul's "Bahovuddin's Dog" and its role in expressing the author's ideas are also analyzed. The relationship between artistic space and time in these stories is also explored. Relevant results were obtained about Kafka's time-space, forms of time-space in N. Eshonqul's story, tasks, and its importance in revealing the character of the hero.
