peer agreement (net): +1A book with heart and soul; a book with heart and brains. Explanation: Double sense indeed !; literally, ' with heart and brains' would imply tugging at your heartstrings and appealing to, and stretching the readers' intellectual capacities. However if you wanted to imply the overall depth of appeal of a book, it could easily be described as ' having heart and soul'- it gets under our skin and appeals on many levels. A book with heart and brains. "Double Sense is a small town where the streets are all one-way. Someone, arriving from outside, would be led to think that one can only enter but not leave; instead, the traffic flows smoothly and, sooner or later, everyone finds their way to In Mona, the neighbouring village. Doppio Senso is a town where every word can acquire a different meaning, depending on who is interpreting it and the person with whom one is conversing." So, in the light of that, there are several interpretations you could apply. The choice is yours! |

A book to warm(steal) your heart yet stretch your mind Explanation: I don't think a literal translation of this would sound very natural in the context, even though the expression could be used in English. So any translation used would need to sum up the idea in a different way. An alternative would be "STEALS the heart, as can be seen in second example" Example sentence(s):
