The social and economic environment of one-dimensional ideological views, in which literary works were mainly assessed from the perspective of sociological discourse and evaluated on the basis of their political correctness, created an idealised perception of the writer, with his/her works being praised as exemplary of the role of literature in attaining political aims. The similarities in Steinbeck's status in these countries are also evident after their transition to democracy. Following the decrease in the ideological manipulation of literature with the concomitant emphasis on its aesthetic conceptualisation, the whole region has experienced increased interest of translators and publishers in Steinbeck's lesser-known works, which were previously marginalised due to their lack of ideological structuresKljub nekaterim razlikam med oblastnimi strukturami držav nekdaj komunističnega dela Evrope opazimo veliko podobnosti v recepciji Steinbecka in njegovih del. Z enoznačno ideologijo zaznamovano družbeno-politično okolje, ki je književna dela ocenjevalo predvsem s stališča sociološkega diskurza in koncept umetniške veličine povezovalo s politično korektnostjo, je v vseh državah ustvarilo mitizirano podobo Steinbecka, njegova dela pa postavilo za zgled vloge književnosti pri doseganju političnih ciljev. Podobnost v pisateljevi recepciji je zelo opazna tudi po prehodu teh držav v demokracijo. Z upadom ideološkega zlorabljanja književnosti in poudarkom na njeni estetski konceptualizaciji se je namreč povsod povečalo zanimanje prevajalcev in založnikov za manj znana in zaradi pomanjkanja ideoloških vsebin marginalizirana Steinbeckova delaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlavistično društvo Slovenije
