''Les Aventures du Roi Pausole'' (The Adventures of King Pausole) is a novel written by the French author Pierre Louÿs. Published in 1901, the book is a light-hearted and erotic tale set in the fictional utopian kingdom of Tryphème. The story follows the escapades of King Pausole, a benevolent and indulgent ruler who is guided by his own set of 366 commandments, one for each day of the year, plus one for leap year. These commandments promote a life of hedonism and pleasure, reflecting the author's own libertine views.

The narrative unfolds as King Pausole navigates the complexities of his personal life, including the management of his harem of 366 wives—one for each day of the year—and the challenges posed by his rebellious daughter, Aline. The plot is driven by Aline's elopement with a handsome shepherd, which leads the king on a whimsical journey beyond the confines of his palace. Throughout his adventures, King Pausole encounters a variety of amusing and often risqué situations, which serve to satirize contemporary mores and the hypocrisy of societal norms.

Pierre Louÿs was known for his erotic literature, and ''Les Aventures du Roi Pausole'' is no exception, featuring his characteristic blend of sensuality, wit, and irony. The novel is emblematic of the Belle Époque period in France, a time characterized by cultural refinement, artistic innovation, and a certain joie de vivre, yet also marked by underlying social tensions.

The book has been adapted into various other media, including a comic opera by composer Arthur Honegger and librettist Arthur Willemetz, which premiered in Paris in 1930. The story's playful exploration of sexual norms and its critique of authority have contributed to its enduring appeal, making it a notable work in the canon of early 20th-century French literature.
