Although the work of James Joyce has been studied in English and Russian literature and translation, it has not been studied in detail in Uzbek literature and translation studies. In this work, along with revealing the problems of tradition and innovation in the work of J. Joyce, we study how the stylistic means used in the text of the novel "Ulysses" are preserved in the Russian and Uzbek translations by means of comparative-typological analysis of the original and translated texts. We identify alternatives and non-alternatives to the original Russian and Uzbek translations
