José Luis Espejo Pérez (born in Barcelona in 1965), is a Spanish-language writer specializing in historical essays. He has a degree in Geography and History from the University of Barcelona. Between 1985 and 1992 he was editor of the critical magazine L'esborrany, published in Sant Boi de Llobregat. At the same time he worked as an editor in several technical press magazines. Between the years 1992 and 1998 he collaborated in the preparation of three monographs of a social nature in the magazine Arguments and Proposals, published by L'Eina Editorial. Between 1998 and 2002 he lived in the city of Bath (United Kingdom), a period in which he worked as a screenwriter in several audiovisual companies. Previously (in 1994) he spent eight months in the United States. His knowledge of the cultural reality in these two Anglo-Saxon countries brought him into contact with the two subjects he deals with most in his books: Social Reality and Critical History. He returned to Spain in 2002, to dedicate himself to writing historical essay books, among them, El Conocimiento secreto: Los entresijos de las sociedades secretas and Los hijos del Edén: toda la verdad sobre la Atlántida. He made trips to Italy and France (until 2007 and 2008), compiling for 10 years a large amount of documentation on the life and work of Leonardo da Vinci . As a result of this research, he published the book: Leonardo: los años perdidos, and later El viaje secreto de Leonardo da Vinci and Los mensajes ocultos de Leonardo da Vinci .
