Von Osten’s House by Lisa Danbury, reviewed by Shona Morley letura en 1 minuto con
30 segundos.

In 1891, a retired German schoolteacher called Wilhelm von Osten started performing with his horse
Hans. Hans could apparently understand spoken questions that required him to add and subtract
numbers. He would then make the calculations, and five he answer by tapping his hoof the appropriate
number of times. The spectators were convinced. Even eminent scientist came to the conclusion that
Hans could understand human speech and do arithmetic. It was not until1904 that a researcher
identified Han´s true skill: the horse simply tapped until a very slightly movement of the head by von
Osten – which he himself wasn’t aware of making – signaled that Hans had reached the right answer
and should stop tapping.
Inspired by this true story, in her latest novel Lisa Danbury images “what if?” What if von Osten was a
cheat, playing on the gullibility of his audiences, and justifying himself with the suffering he had
experienced at the hands of others? Her fiction starts with young Wilhelm as a child of six, packed off to
his boarding school but his uncaring parents. Through his childhood he is at the mercy of other people.
As an adult, he becomes a schoolteacher, but suffers at the hands of arrogant headmasters and badly
behaved pupils.

9. According to the reviewer, people who saw hands between 1891 and 19804 were
a) mistaken about what he was really doing
b) suspicious of von Osteon’s role in the performance
c) eager for a scientific explanation of what was happening
d) convinced that nothing similar had been seen before

10. According to the second paragraph, what does Danbury show about von Osten in her novel
a) he is deceived by association of other people's
b) he cares for his parents more than they care for him
c) he hopes that a school environment might give him protection
d) he feels he has good reason for his dishonesty towards other people
