A House of Silk and Mystery�@�@�����������ǩ_�@��
by Igor Bagrov

Take a look at Jim Thompson's life and achievements.
���ڭ̤@�s���E�����˪��ͥ��P���N�C

�@�@The name Jim Thompson may not mean much to you, and yet his life and adventures are worth sharing. The story of his life is a good example that proves that just one person can do great work, even if it is a true labor of love.
An American, Jim Thompson was born in 1906, graduated from university as an architect, and was prepared for a _(1)_ career. But with the _(2)_ of war in Europe, he volunteered for service in the US Army. His assignments took him to Italy, France, and, later, to Asia. That is how he found himself in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.
�@�@Thompson came to love the Thai culture, of which silk-making was an old and famous tradition. But after World War II, with the invention of synthetic�� fabric��, the Thai silk-making craft�� lost its market and was on the _(3)_ of extinction. Jim Thompson put all his energy and clever mind to the task of _(4)_ the beautiful artistic craft of Thai silk-making. During his 25-year-long stay in Thailand, he saved it and _(5)_ it into a world-class industry, having founded Jim Thompson's Silk Company. In the 1960s, Thai silk costumes made their _(6)_ on Broadway, and from the theater stage, Thai silk's popularity spread all over the world.
�@�@In 1967, on a tour of Malaysia, Jim Thompson went for a walk in the jungle�� and never _(7)_. Nobody saw him after that, and his body has never been found. Thompson disappeared, but his spirit _(8)_ at his home. For so many years, it has been considered the most _(9)_ social center in Bangkok. There is no need to add that it has also become a major tourists' attraction.
�@�@The mystery of his disappearance is still a _(10)_ to historians��, but, perhaps, there is no mystery at all. Having fulfilled his mission in this life, Thompson simply had to move on to other things.
