John Steinbeck and His Attachment to the Landscape of California
 KAŠŤÁK, Nicholas
In the perspective of ecocritical reading, the work will deal with the minor literary forms of the American prose writer John Steinbeck (Tortilla Flat, Cannery Row, The Wayward Bus) and will attempt to define the environment of Steinbeck's prose, his perceptions of the environment and landscape descriptions, including the description of the characters facing the natural conditions within the landscape of Steinbeck's literary California. In the introductory part the thesis will theoretically focus on the issue of ecocriticism as a contemporary literary approach to the environment and the landscape of analyzed novels. At the core of the work will be the application of ecocritical theoretical bases for John Steinbeck's work, primarily on his perception of space, nature and landscape. Part of the work will be a chapter dealing with Steinbeck's biography and his relationship with the nature and landscape of the West Coast of the United States.
