Sunny and Rainy Days is part memoir, part chronicle of the 20th century Czechoslovakia. Burianek takes the reader on his youthful motorbike trips in the 1930s, through the horrors of WWII, to building a construction company with 200 employees within two years after the war, to seeing the company nationalized by the new communist regime and emigrating to South Africa, and returning after five years to keep a promise given to his wife. Through courtrooms, travels and family dinners, a man with equal passions for entrepreneurship and gardening struggles to live within—and sometimes beyond—the limits set by history.

This novel of ideas comes in two volumes, with the reader deciding which to read first. This Czech edition of Flock Without Birds received the “Most Beautiful Book of the Year” award for its design.
