CANDIDE. French

Candide. The hero of Voltaire's celebrated novel of the same name,
in which he collects together the most dreadful misfortunes, and heaps
them upon the head of a single individual, with the intention, probably,
of inculcating a philosophical indifference to the disasters and
disappointments and sorrows which inevitably beset human life. (A
Dictionary of the Noted Names of Fiction, Wheeler, 1889)
