Conan in his spare time would listen to scholars & philosophers debate & this in-turn gave him an informal education.

I feel like I should dislike Robert Howard and his Conan (a complete Mary Sue) but The Tower Of The Elephant is an enjoyable short story. Judging by this, Howard is a very visual writer and an unabashed entertainer, somebody who can cram many exotic scenes and weird + violent twists into few pages. Maybe it helps that I don't read a lot of fantasy so the cliches don't bother me (I'm more a SF reader.)
