Shyngyskhan Amir. Zaman

This fantasy tale depicts a time when the Earth was not divided into six continents, when Eurasia and North America formed a single landmass called Laurasia, and when centaurs, arachnoids (spider-people), scorpionoids (scorpion-people), and ants (ant-people) inhabited the world. The story begins with a war between Centauria and Arachnia and concludes with a centaur named Zaman—who grew up insecure, alienated from friends and loved ones, and whose very nature opposes hostility—bringing an end to the enmity between the nations.
