'Comrade Stalin wishes to speak with you.' A fascinating exploration of the relationship between writers and tyranny, from the winner of the first Man Booker International Prize. In June 1934, Joseph Stalin allegedly telephoned the famous novelist and poet Boris Pasternak to discuss the arrest of fellow Soviet poet Osip Mandelstam. In a fascinating combination of dreams and dossier facts, Ismail Kadare reconstructs the three minutes they spoke and the aftershocks of this tense, mysterious moment in modern history. Weaving together the accounts of witnesses, reporters and writers such as Isaiah Berlin and Anna Akhmatova, Kadare tells a gripping story of power and political structures, of the relationship between writers and tyranny. The telling brings to light uncanny parallels with Kadare's experience writing under dictatorship, when he received an unexpected phone call of his own.

Remember these new rules of the game:

• the selection criteria for tomorrow's talent could scarcely be more different than the ones used today,

• selection based primarily on credentials, skills and knowledge will no longer suffice,

• it is essential that you come to know your potential hires - who they are and what motivates them.

Executive recruiter, columnist and author Ralf Knegtmans offers nine essential steps companies need to follow to select tomorrow's top talent. He builds on his wealth of hands-on experience, his deep reading and research in the field and his interviews with visionary CEOs and frontline experts.

If you screen candidates according to his experience-tested plan outlined in Agile Talent, you will be able to select the very best people to guide your organisation in these turbulent times.

This book shows you how to zero in on the right people for the job, with little or no need for outside consultants to help you. Not merely meant for HR managers or recruiters, Agile Talent is of value to senior executives and anyone involved in the selection of top executives, managers and other employees - and to anyone facing a recruiter.

• How can I tell whether a candidate who shows the hallmarks of an 'agile' talent will match the company's culture and strategic priorities?
• Are there tools available to help me make objective decisions regarding my selection? Will these tools yield better predicions of future success?
• Are case studies available of businesses at the forefront of hiring agile talent?
• How can I spot agile talent already working for my company and how do I retain these talented people?
