So, today I wanna talk about this thing called “de la rosée,” which I’ve been messing around with lately. It all started when I stumbled upon some random info about this brand, La Rose, that’s apparently all about being eco-friendly and stuff. They say they make sure their ingredients, packaging, and how they make their products are all good for nature and animals. That got me curious, you know?
Then I dug a bit deeper and found out “de la rosée” is actually related to some old novel or something, called “Gouverneurs de la rosée” by a Haitian dude named Jacques Roumain. Apparently, this book is like a big deal in Haiti. It talks about all sorts of environmental issues they’ve been having there for decades. Some folks even call it a “fiction-reality” because it hits so close to home.
Digging into Jacques Roumain
So, I got more interested in this Jacques guy and his book. I found out he wrote it back in the 1940s, but it wasn’t published until after he died, in 1944. People started reading it more in 1947. There’s even some academic paper about it by a guy named Mats Lundahl, talking about Jacques and his novel. I didn’t read the whole paper, but it looked pretty intense.
Then I found this article from some newspaper called L’Humanité, praising the book. They say Jacques Roumain gives us a “lesson of life” through this novel. Sounds pretty deep, right?
But what really caught my eye was this other article, talking about an “original reading” of the novel. I guess there are many ways to interpret it. Anyway, all this talk about the book got me thinking about the name “de la Rosa” again.
Connecting to Candy
And then, bam! I remembered this candy brand, also called “de la Rosa.” They make this peanut marzipan called “Conitas.” Apparently, they started selling it outside of Guadalajara because they had too much competition. And people started calling it “Marzipan de la Rosa” because the logo had a flower on it. Just like the novel’s title!
They also make this other candy called Pulparindo, which is made from tamarind pulp. It’s sweet, salty, spicy, and tangy all at the same time. I used to eat these all the time as a kid!
So, yeah, that’s my little journey into the world of “de la rosée.” Started with an eco-friendly brand, went through some Haitian literature, and ended up with nostalgic candy. Pretty wild, huh? It’s funny how things connect sometimes. You start with one thing, and before you know it, you’re down a rabbit hole of random stuff. But hey, that’s what makes life interesting, right?
- I started by reading about the La Rose brand and its eco-friendly practices.
- Then I discovered the novel “Gouverneurs de la rosée” by Jacques Roumain.
- I learned a bit about Jacques Roumain and the book’s significance.
- I found some articles praising the book and discussing its themes.
- Finally, I connected it all to the “de la Rosa” candy brand and its products.
That’s all for my little adventure today. Just wanted to share this random chain of thoughts with you all. Maybe it’ll inspire you to go on your own little exploration sometime. You never know what you might find!
