   The book explores the theme of family life and the intimate experiences of people in the early modern era. Attention is directed to the norms that determine the relations between the sexes and the related changes in mentalities and mores. In the context of national mythology, the author examines relationships with "foreign" women and men in an ethnic, religious and other sense. Observations focus primarily on literary works and journalism from the period of the Bulgarian National Revival, as well as on memoirs, letters and other documents.
