This text is a detailed introduction to Frobenius manifolds (via the example of unfoldings) and their spectral covers. The example of Frobenius structure on the cohomology of a projective variety given by quantum cohomology is investigated in detail, quantum cohomology and Gromov-Witten invaraints being presented through the Kontsevich moduli spaces of stable maps.
