Agentura Pankrác

Agentura Pankrác (also presented as Nakladatelství PANKRÁC s.r.o.) is a Czech publishing house whose catalogue centres on Czech and Central European history. Its best-known series is a multi-volume guide to the ruins of castles, fortresses, manors and chateaux of Bohemia, organised by region (Western, Northern, Eastern, Central and Southern Bohemia) and written or co-written by Tomáš Durdík and Viktor Sušický. Alongside these popular regional guides, the publisher issues scholarly and semi-scholarly works on genealogy, heraldry, archival science, surnames, the nobility of the Habsburg monarchy and interwar Czechoslovakia, and related historical topics. Titles visible on its website include Dobrava Moldanová's works on Czech surnames and Czech literature, Josef Beneš and Marie Nováková on German surnames in Bohemia, Václav Horčička and Petr Janoušek on land reform in interwar Czechoslovakia, and Michal Fiala and Jan Županič on the Jewish nobility of Central Europe. The publisher sells directly through its website, listing stock availability and discounted prices in Czech korunas. It is a small, privately held Czech company; no parent group, stock listing or founding date is confirmed by the available evidence.

Agentura Pankrác is a Czech publishing house operating under the imprint Nakladatelství PANKRÁC s.r.o. Its catalogue, as shown on its website, is built around Czech and Central European history, with a strong emphasis on the material heritage of castles, fortresses, manors and chateaux and on the auxiliary historical sciences. The publisher's most visible project is the regional series Zříceniny hradů, tvrzí a zámků, covering the ruins of Western, Northern, Eastern, Central and Southern Bohemia; the volumes are authored or co-authored by the archaeologist and castle specialist Tomáš Durdík and by Viktor Sušický, and are offered at discounted prices with stock indicated on the site. A second cluster of titles deals with genealogy, heraldry, archival science and onomastics, including Dobrava Moldanová's Naše příjmení and Česká literatura v čase modernismu, Josef Beneš and Marie Nováková's Německá příjmení u Čechů, and Michal Fiala and Jan Županič's Nobilitas Iudaeorum on the Jewish nobility of Central Europe. A third cluster addresses the nobility and elites of the Habsburg monarchy and its successor states, with titles such as Jan Županič's Habsburská šlechta and Šlechta bez monarchie by Václav Horčička and Jan Županič, and Václav Horčička and Petr Janoušek's study of land reform in interwar Czechoslovakia. The website functions as a direct sales channel, listing prices in Czech korunas, discounts and availability. No founding date, ownership structure or corporate history is confirmed by the available evidence, and the company appears to be a small private Czech publisher rather than part of a larger media group.
