Abstract
The geographical map of Bulgarian literature is brightly coloured and densely populated especially from a close Balkan and Asia Minor shot. In it we find interesting evidence for places we have only a vague idea about today. The little port town of Mudania on the Asia Minor coast of the Sea of Marmara is on the geographical map of Bulgarian literature since it connects two important imperial centers like Istanbul and Bursa. There are Bulgarian authors who passed through Mudania in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the last century for various reasons and occasions, thus visiting Asia and seeing olives for the first time and leaving valuable impressions of the means of living of the local population.
Key words: Bulgarian Literature, Mudania, Istanbul, Bursa, Asia Minor
