Every national mythology highlights the origin and defines the own and its relations with the others by building narrations presenting the ethno-genesis and the past, both glorious and traumatic. Synchronically, defining the own goes mainly through the regales of the matrimonial norm and so called 'economy of women' - relations with representatives of the other sex that are members of other ethnic and/or religious group, and especially the process of adoption of women in communities, different from the own. The article is an attempt to present the main plots of Bulgarian national mythology, existing in the folklore and literature from the 19th century as a system. It is focused at the narratives about the abducted treasury - the kernel of Bulgarian national mythology. This abducted treasury could be a woman, books, faith, etc. The victim in the main variation is woman who could be abducted or seduced. Other popular plot has to do with the unhappy effects of the marriage of a Bulgarian man with a foreign woman. The ancient sources are traced and also the meaning that modern nationalism puts in these plots.

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.
