Tato práce zkoumá vývoj literatury amerického spisovatele Johna Steinbecka, který na začátku své spisovatelské kariéry silně inklinoval k marxismu. V první části této práce je stručně nastíněna teorie marxismu a humanismu. Následně jsou tyto teorie aplikovány na tři díla z třech různých období Steinbeckova života. Tyto analýzy slouží jako demonstrace Steinbeckovy interpretace a vnímání marxismu a jeho finálního postoje vůči této filozofii.

The aim of this thesis is to examine John Steinbeck's literature in relation to his Marxist beliefs. Steinbeck showed a great interest in Marxism and reflected it in his early and mid works. Yet it is not certain to say whether Steinbeck remained true to his beliefs or whether his style changed in his later works. To prove this, this work will serve as a close examination of several examples of his works supported by several theories.
