Buck|At the beginning of her writing career, in the 1930's and 40's, Pearl S. Buck achieved great success that reached its pinnacle with the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938. Her works were admired among readers around the world, including Slovene readers. It seems that the Slovenes did not lag behind the world's literary trends of the time. The first translation of The Good Earth, probably the writer's most prominent novel, in 1934 - only three years after the original was written. The subject matter that the writer introduced in herworks, China in interaction with the West, attracted many readers and soon resulted in a number of works being translated into Slovene. Consequently the amount of critical material in Slovene newspapers and magazines also began to rise. This article provides an overview of and assesses the Slovene critical material on Pearl S. Buck, while evaluating the literary quality of that materialPearl S. Buck je v začetku svoje pisateljske poti v tridesetih in štiridesetihletih 20. stoletja dosegla osupljiv uspeh, ki je leta 1938 segel celo do Nobelove nagrade za literaturo. Njena dela so bila priljubljena med bralci po celem svetu, med drugimi tudi na Slovenskem. Slovenci v tistem času nismo zaostajali za svetovnimi literarnimi trendi, saj smo prvi prevod pisateljičinega najbolj znanega dela z naslovom Dobra zemlja dobili že leta 1934, kar je tri leta po izdaji originala. Pisateljičina tematika, Kitajska v stiku z Zahodom, je privabila mnogo bralcev, tako da je število prevodov pisateljičinih del na Slovenskem naraščalo. S prevodi so se v slovenskih časnikih in revijah pojavljale kritike, ki so bile največkrat pisateljici zelonaklonjene. Članek tako presoja in vrednoti kritiški material, ki so ga slovenski kritiki izdali na osnovi prevedenih del Pearl S.
