Estrangement of Labor

Title: Estrangement of Labor

I am reading most of Marx's work for the first time. I am currently struggling to grasp the Estrangement of Labor as Marx relates it in the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. Can anyone explain it succinctly and in simple terms? I am interested in the relationship between the estrangement of labor as it is linked to man's relationship to/as nature, and the development of private property. I understand that all of this leads to the development of capital as well as its concurrent philosophies, but something is not clicking for me. I intend to read Engel's The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State next. Will this book help clarify the estrangement of labor idea?

Thanks
