Året før han gikk bort, i en av de mest utfordrende tidene i livet hans, skapte Paul Klee noen av sine mest banebrytende verk. I 1939, til tross for alvorlig sykdom og i en tid med store omveltninger med utbruddet av andre verdenskrig, skapte Klee kunst full av energi og kreativitet. Denne boken ser nærmere på disse verkene, som spenner fra politiske til lekne og poetiske, og viser hvordan Klee brukte kunsten sin til å håndtere personlige og globale kriser. Verkene som vises i boken er eksempler på Klees evne til å eksperimentere med ulike materialer og teknikker, fra lim og olje til kritt og akvarell, noe som gir kunsten hans et unikt og taktilt preg. Boken er som en dagbok over Klees tanker og følelser i denne tiden, med verk som «Monster i beredskap» og «Kjemp med seg selv». Denne boken er ikke bare en dybdelesning for de som er interessert i kunst og kunsthistorie, men også et vakkert interiørdekor. Med sitt elegante design og rikelig med illustrasjoner er den perfekt som en "coffee table book" som beriker ethvert rom. Det gir ikke bare et innblikk i de sene verkene til Paul Klee, men fungerer også som en inspirasjonskilde og et samtaleemne for dine gjester. En må-ha-bok som er både hyggelig å lese og vakker å vise frem.
