The memoirs of the rebels offered new variation of the imagined geography of the Ottoman Empire. The observations are focused on two of its aspects. First is the description of the Bulgarian lands and Bulgarian people (mainly in the work of Z. Stoyanov), which differed from the preliminary ideas of the author and from the nationalistic myth, that was in process of imposing at that time. In contrast to them Notes on the Bulgarian Uprisings obviously narrowed Bulgarian space in geographical and ethnical sense. The second aspect is the description of the Asiatic parts of the Empire in the memoirs of the exiles (St. Zaimov, M. Kanchev). Here an interesting change of the optics could be perceived - in Anadolu Bulgarian exiles occasionally adopt the view-point and even some of the ideas of the European travellers and orientalists.
