Simpática novela en la que George, Harry y J., los tres jovenes amigos protagonistas de Tres hombres en una barca, emprenden una nueva aventura aún más arriesgada: conocer Alemania y a los alemanes en un delirante y disparatado viaje. En Tres ingleses en Alemania, Jerome K. Jerome rescata a este trio de personajes para enfrentarlos situaciones descabelladas en su periplo por tierras alemanas en busca de un cambio de vida. Con perfiles muy dispares, cada protagonista afronta esta nueva ocurrencia de maneras dispares.

George, Harry y Jerome protagonistas también de Tres hombres en una barca necesitados de un profundo cambio en sus vidas, emprenden un nuevo periplo: esta vez viajan a Alemania para desentrañar la idiosincrasia germana. Dados sus temples tan distintos, cada uno concurre con sus propios disparates al desman comun, precipitandose a traves de una serie de escenas de naturaleza muy diferente a la que habrian deseado, y mucho menos previsto, y con resultados aun mas delirantes, si cabe, que en su anterior aventura. Jerome recrea los topicos sobre el antagonismo entre alemanes y britanicos para generar comicidad, siempre con esa fineza ironica que ofrece segundas interpretaciones, siempre con esa facilidad literaria que caracteriza a uno de los primeros escritores ingleses que abandono los esquemas victorianos para contribuir con su ingenio a sentar las bases de la novela contemporanea.

Wifo Medroso es un joven estudiante, cobarde y enclenque, que realizará sus prácticas de Enanología en la ciudad de Villa Trifulcas. Hasta aquí podría parecer una historia anodina y sin ningún interés. ¿Pero habria sido escrita si lo fuera? Mientras el becario estudia las costumbres de los enanos, el mundo se encamina hacia el desastre. Elfos racistas y xenofobos, una banda criminal dirigida por un niño de ocho años, enanas homicidas, politicos corruptos, trolls, orcos, guerreros errantes, ogros y magos, bosques encantados, reinas, asesinos, peleas, palizas, asedios y batallas, mentiras, secuestros, amenazas, un burro guardaespaldas y, aunque parezca increible, mucho mucho mas. ¿Que podra hacer Wifo, en medio de este follon, para salvar su propia vida y la de los enanos?
