2. Claudia
Hugh Casthorpe has fallen for Madame Claudia. But she’s married, and he hasn’t the courage to speak to her. Stars Luke Thallon.
Visiting Hugh Casthorpe has now become a patient in the sanatorium.
His rise in temperature may have something to do with the fact that he is utterly, hopelessly besotted with the lovely Madame Claudia.
She is married, she is ill, he's scared to speak to her and Hugh’s companions on the Magic Mountain, are far from happy with the infatuation.
Despite the obstacles - will love find a way?
Thomas Mann’s novel is a literary icon, a tragi-comedy, a masterpiece of deep thought, sly irony, sex, love and death.
